Sewanee Alum Working For The Daily Caller

Sewanee students might remember him as the former Editor-in-Chief of The Sewanee Purple, but as of just a few weeks ago, Alex Pappas (C’09) has a new title: Political Reporter for The Daily Caller, a Washington D.C.-based news website launched on January 11 of this year. Editor-in-Chief of the publication and Pappas’ new boss is Tucker Carlson, a Fox News contributor and former co-host of CNN’s Crossfire and MSNBC’s Tucker. Pappas interviewed for the job after hearing from a Sewanee alumnus that Carlson was hiring reporters for a web-based news enterprise. Around Christmas, he received an e-mail offering him the job. Pappas, who had always wanted to cover D.C. politics, asserts that he was impressed with Carlson and publisher Neil Patel’s “vision for their soon-to-be-launched site, based on objective, hard-hitting reporting.” He took the job that day.
