Alex Steil is the Editor-in-Chief of the Minnesota Daily. He worked as a state legislature reporter, general assignment reporter and copy editor before taking over the role in May 2023. A fourth-generation journalist (his great-grandma worked for her high school newspaper, The Daily Wurst) and son of a high school journalism teacher, news is in his blood. When he was a kid, he remembers helping his mom out with current events quizzes for her students. When Alex isn't editing stories or in meetings, he is probably enjoying the outdoors, playing an instrument or reading.
