Meet Nino...

My name is Nino DeNino and I am student at Montclair State University nestled in the vibrant community of Montclair, New Jersey. As a Jersey native (Team Taylor Ham!) I'm deeply passionate about reporting on a wide spectrum of topics, from hard-hitting politics to heartwarming human interest stories. My dream to pursue journalism sprouts from waking up every morning in middle school an hour early to sit on the couch and watch the news with my Mema. 

I was mesmerized by the stories unfolding on the screen, I couldn't help but admire the journalists who brought them to life—I knew then that I wanted to be a part of that world. Throughout my time at Montclair State University, I've had the privilege of diving headfirst into the realm of journalism.

From producing video pieces for Montclair News Lab, our campus television news show, to crafting engaging audio packages for WMSC, our esteemed radio station, I've embraced every opportunity to hone my storytelling skills and amplify voices within our community. One of the highlights of my journalistic journey so far was embarking on an unforgettable adventure with my peers in our On The Road class. Venturing all the way to Arizona, we explored a wide variety of topics ranging from the border wall crisis, migrant desert encampments, water crisis management, to the kicker. I'll never forget the day I transformed into a cowboy for a feature piece—an experience that epitomized the boundless creativity and excitement inherent in journalism.
