Alexander Mason Marlow (born January 24, 1986) is an American journalist who currently serves as editor-in-chief of the Breitbart News Network.[2][3] Marlow began his career as Andrew Breitbart's editorial assistant, a position which he held for four years. In 2008, he was hired as the inaugural managing editor of Breitbart News, becoming the first employee of the website.[4] Marlow hosts Breitbart News Saturday on SiriusXM. He was named to the Forbes 30 under 30 list for 2015.[5]

Editorial strategy

Marlow told Bloomberg Business that at Breitbart.com, "Our whole mindset is looking for these rolling narratives." Marlow said key narratives for the website include immigration, ISIS, race riots, traditional values, and Hillary Clinton.[6] Marlow told The New York Times that "Our goal is not influence; it is reporting and highlighting stories important to grass roots conservatives. Our focus on issues like spending, trade and particularly immigration are a reflection of the fact that there are massive populations of center-right Americans who do not favor the policies most often associated with the Republican Party establishment."[7]

In October 2013, when Marlow took over Breitbart's editorial operations, the site drew about three million visitors.[8] Three years later, under Marlow's guidance, the site drew 37 million unique visitors and generated over 240 million pageviews.<ref>"Breitbart News Hits Record 240+ Million Pageviews, 37 Million Uniques in October".
