Anthony Rispoli
Hi, my name is Anthony Rispoli and I'm a senior at The Pennsylvania State University majoring in Broadcast Journalism. I grew up in New Jersey and eventually travelled to Pennsylvania for university. This website is designed to document the broadcast, radio and print journalism work I've done at Penn State.
​
Upon graduating, I wish to become a writer or a producer at a news outlet. I hope this website finds you well, and feel free to browse my works.
Bio: Who Am I?
My name is Anthony Rispoli and I'm from Mahwah, New Jersey. I was born in Gwangju, South Korea but came to the United States not long after. I've spent most of my time at Penn State pursuing a career in journalism. I switched to a major in Broadcast Journalism during my sophomore year to follow the drive and ambition I had to pursuing a career as a journalist. As I was introduced to more sides of the field, I got more passionate and excited about breaking into the field. I was having fun creating content, and immediately knew this was the correct career choice.
​
I intend to graduate in December 2018 and I hope the skills and experiences I've learned at Penn State will prepare me for a career in journalism. I have taken courses in print, radio and broadcast journalism to get a diverse understanding of what the field has to offer, including a specific course where I was part of a student-run news station. I've grown significantly in my professional life and writings because of these courses, and must admit I am proud of my achievements and growth.
​
I'm also involved with a publication at Penn State called Panorama as a writer. This publication was my first exposure to journalism and showed me how to write and conduct myself as a journalist. Panorama is a smaller publication at Penn State, but strives to give a diverse range of news to students. I've had the pleasure of having several of my articles published on the Panorama website.
​
My skills were furthered after interning with CBS New York during the 2018 summer. I got hands on experience and exposure to the various positions in a newsroom, and even helped Assignment Desk Editors piece together developing stories by contacting local governing bodies, such as NYPD. I capped off my experience at CBS New York by co-anchoring the Intern Newscast, which highlighted the various intern positions at the company.
