Deborah Bloom

Hi there! I'm a video and text journalist based in Portland, Oregon who specializes in news writing and videography. When I'm not covering breaking news in the Pacific Northwest, I'm looking for character-driven stories to write or film (or ideally, both!) 

I've covered racial justice protests, far-right demonstrations, natural disasters, political campaigns, and now a global pandemic. I've also written several feature stories about women's rights, health and the environment. several features stories about women's rights, health and the environment.  

I shoot with a Cannon C300 and 5D Mark IV and edit with Adobe Premiere. I'm equipped to do sit-down interviews, B-roll shoots, field producing, feature writing, quick-turnaround breaking news stories, or just some some plain old newsgathering/stringing.
