From studying biology and neuroscience to earning an MA in history, Alex’s journey is a testament to the unexpected ways history skills can shape careers. We dove into how his history background prepared him for his role at CBS, where he uses storytelling to help audiences make sense of important community issues. Alex explained how skills like analyzing sources, breaking down complex ideas, providing context, and writing have been invaluable. He also shared his thoughts on journalism’s deeper purpose—not just reporting the facts but helping people understand why they matter.
