Alexandra Pelosi is a journalist and writer based in New York City.

In 2000, Pelosi worked as a network television producer for NBC covering George W. Bush's presidential campaign. She brought along a handheld camcorder documenting her experience on the campaign trail; the footage was used to create Journeys with George, a documentary that earned her six Emmy nominations. During the 2004 Democratic primaries, she returned to the campaign trail, this time following the Democratic candidates. Her HBO documentary, Diary of a Political Tourist, aired just before the 2004 election. Most recently, she wrote Sneaking into the Flying Circus: How the Media Turn Our Presidential Campaigns into Freak Shows, a book about the process of selecting candidates for President of the United States.

Pelosi grew up in San Francisco, California and graduated from University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication in 1993. She is the daughter of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

She stated that her conversations with three people inspired her to write a book.

"Talking to them, I realized something is going wrong," she said of the conversations.

On June 18 2005 she married to Dutch journalist, lawyer and United States correspondent [Michiel Vos].
