Introduction
My name is Anthony DiFilippo and I am a senior at Waynesburg University. I graduated in 2022 from Franklin Regional High School, where I spent three years in the broadcasting program. I directed an award-winning newscast during my senior year, a show in which I was also an anchor. I also wrote for the Westmoreland County edition of the Tribune-Review, in the high school sports section. At Waynesburg University, I had the opportunity to produce Plead Your Case, the sports debate show on campus. I've had opportunities and internships in every phase of communication, including with the Pittsburgh Penguins, WKRG News 5 in Mobile, Alabama, and Iron and Oil Baseball.
My Story
When I was younger, I randomly wrote and talked about anything that would come to mind. As I got older, I transformed my passion for writing and sports into my own podcast, City of Bridges. At the age of 16, I got a chance to start writing for a Pirates blog. When I was 17, I started writing for the Tribune-Review in a paid position. Two years ago, I co-created Cannonball Comin,' a Pirates and Steelers podcast. Last summer, I was one of five people hand-selected for a news internship with WKRG in Mobile, Alabama. This past spring, I was one of 3 people selected for an internship with Pittsburgh Penguins Radio, or 105.9 the X, and got a chance to travel with Waynesburg's baseball team to Florida for a week.
