Alexis Marigny
(MARIN-EE)
I'm the Capitol Correspondent and an anchor at WBRZ in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and I'm in my element when I'm telling authentic Louisiana stories. I grew up in Slidell, Louisiana among the glorious cypress trees of the Honey Island Swamp, and I became a reporter to continue a legacy of public service.
​
I've carried it into my work, breaking down public policy, chasing breaking news and breaking my back to hold leaders accountable. In my time at WBRZ, my team was nominated for a Regional Suncoast Emmy for our coverage of the kidnapping and killing of a young mother and her daughters, a difficult story the required empathy and professionalism.
I am most proud of a story I worked on with award winning photographer/editor Joel Bruce, about the Texas casino industry, or lack thereof. I won't give away too much, just give it watch here!
​
I graduated from Loyola University New Orleans with a B.A. journalism and a minor political science. My senior year I received the Bonomo Outstanding School of Mass Communication Student award and the 2022 Press Club Scholarship. That meant I had mentors that pushed and inspired me to become a better journalist.​
​
In college I worked at WWL-TV in New Orleans. In less than a year, I rose in ranks from Desk Assistant to the Digital Team.
While attending Loyola, I worked at the Louisiana State Senate as a Head Page. That's when I found my love for Baton Rouge. I communicated daily with state officials and sat through countless legislative sessions and read bills like they were the latest, greatest best seller. They were to me!
​
I knew I loved news when I was a girl. I grew up in post Katrina, southeast Louisiana. At that point, local news was more enchanting than Scooby-Doo. I read lower-thirds instead of Magic Tree House and still look up to the Investigative Reporter I watched that taught me about accountability, doggedness and humility when it mattered.
​
In all of these seasons of life, I've had a great team by my side. Knowing the value of your desk-mate is the difference between a powerful story and okay. assignment. Meeting people from across Louisiana’s lush, rich culture is my greatest privilege, and I can’t wait to tell your story, with a camera and a mic.
