Spotlight Series, CART Alumni

From School News to Professional Producer

Last month, Louis Biondolillo discussed his path to News 12. He stressed the importance of being an active participant in career preparation and credits his time at the University and his active role with the Montclair News Lab, as instrumental in his success.

Key Takeaways:

Criticism can fuel success:
“When someone who’s been in the industry for a long time gives you criticism, take the advice and apply it to your work. Try to improve at least one thing every day.”

Internships matter:
“Having an internship is so important. It gives you an idea of what you’re getting into for (hopefully) the rest of your career.”
