When Mike Emanuel missed classes at Rutgers, his professors knew he wasn’t slacking off. Emanuel RC’90 was an aspiring journalist who did play-by-play for Scarlet Knights football, men’s and women’s basketball, soccer, and lacrosse at WRSU-FM, the university radio station.
He would tell his professors that if he wasn’t in class, he was probably on the road with one of the teams at places like St. Bonaventure, Duquesne, or Syracuse.
“They were great about that,” Emanuel says. “They thought, ‘He’s doing something that he may do for the rest of his life.’”
And they were right.
Emanuel found his calling in broadcast journalism, working as a television news anchor in major markets like Los Angeles and Dallas before moving to Washington, D.C., in the early 2000s to cover the White House and Congress, among other beats, for Fox News.
