Alejandra Matos has been named the Houston Chronicle's managing editor for audience and content strategy. She is the first Latina to hold the role and to appear on the news organization's masthead. 
 
“Alejandra brings high-level strategy, digital leadership and a sharp sense of how to connect with audiences in Houston and beyond,” said Kelly Ann Scott, the Chronicle's editor-in-chief. “As a native Texan, her knowledge of the state runs deep. She’s absolutely the right person to continue to build relationships with our readers, listeners and viewers as well as push to transform our news organization as we move forward.”

In her role, Matos will oversee the newsroom’s audience development teams as well as statewide content initiatives including a nine-person Austin bureau covering state government and politics, a statewide weather team and data team. She will report to Scott.
