bio.<\/a> \u201cI've decided to dedicate my life to seeking truth and reporting it.\"<\/p>\nThe Cincinnati native most recently held a morning news internship at Tribune Broadcasting WGN-Channel 9, where his mentor was news anchor Larry Potash. \u201cGiacomo has a passion for broadcast journalism that, in my experience, most interns don\u2019t have,\u201d Potash said in a statement. \u201cBecause of his knowledge of technology and his work ethic,\u00a0I gave him the freedom to coordinate segments and stories.\u00a0He gained valuable experience in writing and producing that many interns miss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luca has been honing his skills since high school when he worked as a reporter, editor and videographer for the student-run television station while doubling as editor-in-chief of the student newspaper. He later landed college internships at stations in Jacksonville, Florida, and Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
Roosevelt doesn\u2019t even offer a broadcast major, making Luca\u2019s achievements all the more remarkable. He\u2019ll begin working full-time at WLIO right after he graduates.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I figured out that TV was what I wanted to do, it\u2019s been full steam ahead,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s a bit overwhelming for me to not only be graduating but also to be achieving my career dream.\u201d<\/p>\n
