#65 Marilyn Deutsch

This month, Mary got to talk with Marilyn Deutsch, a beloved Portland journalist who spent over three decades as a producer at KPTV/FOX 12. Marilyn is known for her dedicated storytelling and recognized by colleagues as a talented, long-standing voice in Oregon media. An award-winning news professional, Marilyn has been recognized for being highly adept at presenting complex topics clearly. She's a skilled listener and polished public speaker.

These days, Marilyn consults with the Oregon Historical Society on their oral history initiatives. She conducts in-depth in-person interviews with leaders in Oregon politics, business, law and related fields. These oral histories become part of the OHS permanent collection for future research purposes and the historical record. Across the past three years, Marilyn has also served as the Oral History Director and Strategist for Clackamas County Historical Society with an eye toward the people and ecosystems of the Willamette River Valley.

Through it all, Marilyn has loved the natural world and paid attention to the shifts in sentiment among the public with whom she's interacted.

You can learn more about Marilyn on LinkedIn and in the articles and posts.

As Marilyn suggests, Keep paying attention - as if you were going to be asked to report on what’s really happening. Marilyn knows, as you do, that with focus and dedication, we can indeed repair our climate.
