About Marcos Nájera
With over 28 years of experience in journalism, production, and education, I am the Inaugural Executive Editor for Arts & Culture at OPB, where I lead a team of talented storytellers and creators who cover the diverse and vibrant cultural scene of Oregon and beyond. I am passionate about bringing stories to life across multiple platforms, from broadcast to print to stage to screen to school. As a hybrid storyteller, I fuse journalism and art to produce, interview, and edit work that engages and informs audiences of all backgrounds and interests. I have a keen ear for the silence and the sound, and how they make a new music together. I have won multiple awards for my breaking news coverage, and I have collaborated with renowned media and arts institutions and veteran artists, such as Anna Deavere Smith, Center Theatre Group, and NPR\'s Latino USA. I am also a certified educator and a fluent Spanish speaker.
