Hello, there!
My name is Marlo Leone; I'm a multimedia journalist and radio producer who has worked in newsrooms across the country. I've been passionate about news reporting since I first did the rush hour traffic reports for New Jersey's WSOU 89.5 FM in 2020. I got my M.S. in Journalism from the University of Southern California in 2024. I've worked with newsrooms such as Asahi Shimbun America and Annenberg Radio News. As a journalist, I’ve produced everything from long-form multimedia pieces to breaking news coverage.Currently, I'm a freelance multimedia journalist focusing on print and audio news. Recently, I was in the 2026 summer session of The Climate Newsroom, which teaches journalists better ways to report on climate change stories, and took an investigative journalism course at Laney College in Oakland, CA.For my B.S., I did a double major in Diplomacy & International Relations and Modern Languages at Seton Hall University in NJ. In undergrad, I took a five-month semester abroad in Buenos Aires, AR. I love finding new stories within local communities. My goal as a journalist is always to promote truth and inform the public. I'm also a photographer, a writer and a former rugger.You can connect with me on LinkedIn and follow me on Instagram or on Bluesky. I also post articles weekly on Substack; check me out over there.Links to some of my published work are here.
