She worked for Newsweek before taking a Master’s degree at Columbia University. She ran the largest national student magazine in the United States, Current, and is the author of Uni in the USA. She moved back to London from New York in 2007 and currently works for Times Online. Alice writes for the Comment Central blog, where she focuses, somewhat obsessively, on the US elections. She is also Online Comment Editor.
