Marika co created Los Angeles News Service in 1978 to cover breaking news in Los Angeles. From their beginnings as overnight stringers using a camera financed by a short lived stint as bounty hunters, to the first live police pursuits from their helicopter in 1991, their award winning footage includes iconic footage like The OJ pursuit and the beating of Reginald Denny during the LA riots and Madonna’s wedding to Sean Penn in Malibu. The footage she shot between 1980 and 2005 has been archived and digitized as the Los Angeles News Service Archive. All of the footage originated with and is copyrighted by Los Angeles News Service.
