Linda Deutsch, (ca. 1945-/) was an AP journalistic reporter, who grew up in New Jersey [15], and now lives in California. Deutsch was known for writing and corresponding to high-level U.S. trials in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Deutsch is a retired reporter and is currently working on a personal memoir.[1]
Personal
[edit]Linda Deutsch, 71, was raised in New Jersey. At age 9 Deutsch received a type writer [15], an early sign of her future as a reporter. Deutsch attended Monmouth University and was a summer intern for Perth Amboy [15]. At 18-years-old Deutsch attended the 1963 civil rights march, in Washington, and received her first front-page by line from the reported ‘I Have A Dream’ speech via Martin Luther King Jr [15]. The Local Newspaper, Asbury Park Press, immediately responded by offering Deutsch a job [16]. Deutsch worked with Asbury Park for the remaining two years of her college career [16]. In effort to find a new job Deutsch raised personal funds and moved to Los Angeles, California [16]. After 3 months of job searching, Deutsch was hired by the bureau chief of Associated Press [16].
Career
[edit]Linda Deutsch was as a Special Correspondent Trial Reporter [12] with the Associative press for forty-eight years. Deutsch first coverage with the Associative Press was the 1968 Bobby Kennedy assassination, from there she then worked on the 1969 Sharon Tate and Manson case [7] [9]. Deutsch joined the AP’s Los Angeles bureau being the only woman on staff.[sandiegouniontribune] Given the discrimination acts that were still prevalent in that time, a few veteran women reporters a few years later in the 70’s filed a lawsuit over discrimination against women on salaries and promotions [16]. In 1973 AP then passed a law emphasizing the neutral term of ‘Newswomen’. All women, including Deutsch then began to get paid the equal funds compared to men [16].
Notable works of journalism
[edit]Deutsch continued to cover historical trials such as the 1976 newspaper heiress and kidnap-victim-turned-bank-robber Patty Heart, and Captain of the tanker Exxon Valdez, which caused one of the worst oil spills in U.S. history [11]. Both Michael Jackson [14] and O.J. Simpson [13] called Deutsch personally after their trials, Jackson called for an exclusive interview while Simpson gave personal thanks to Deutsch and her ethical-neutral stance [5]. Deutsch is known for remaining extremely professional in court, given the reported work of both serial killer Richard Ramirez and charged-murder Robert Blake [5].
Retirement
[edit]Linda Deutsch retired as a Special Correspondent for the Associated press in 2014 and is now currently working on a memoir recapping those moments and others in her life.[1]
Impact
[edit]In September 2017, Linda Deutsch went and visited Leslie Van Houten, Manson follower, in jail [4]. Deutsch released an article stating that Houten would have left prison long ago if the name of Manson was not co-oriented with Leslie Van herself [8]. Deutsch states that ‘anything is possible’ [4] in the ending of her article and continues to share her input on matters in which she believes. Deutsch speaks at 2013 training for journalist [17].
Awards
[edit]Linda Deutsch receives and accepts the lifetime achievement award from the Internation Women’s Media Foundation on October 21,2015 in New York. [16]
