Alli Maloney is the news + politics editor at Teen Vogue. She joined the brand in April 2017 to launch the brand’s News + Politics vertical, which centers around news and social justice issues through the lens of how the Teen Vogue audience is impacted and offers thought-provoking analysis of government happenings, and providing young people with actionable advice. Coinciding with Juvenile Justice Awareness Month in October 2017, Maloney conceptualized and produced the vertical’s extensive “Kids Incarcerated” series, which covered topics like immigration and youth detention, the school-to-prison pipeline, bail reform, and solitary confinement, many written from a first-person perspective. The package was awarded a 2018 Leadership Prize by the Juvenile Law Center.
