On this episode of Behind the Byline, host Jaden Jefferson sits down with Mary Helen DeLisle in the Toledo Free Press podcast studio to highlight several stories she’s covered during her tenure at the TFP.
DeLisle delves into several of her stories, including gray divorce, a term coined by two BGSU professors who researched a trend of people over 50 choosing to go their own separate ways.
DeLisle also talks about:
- her role as a freelancer and how she gets her stories
- covering stories on the education beat, including a TEDx for students at Maumee Valley Country Day School and a TPS attendance incentive program.
DeLisle is a BGSU undergraduate studying journalism, and was one of three spring 2025 interns at the TFP, where she is now a freelancer.
