Costas encourages future broadcasters


Bob Costas gave encouragement to some aspiring broadcasters when he spoke to a class at S.U.'s S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications today. Costa's, a long-time friend of the class's professor, lent students his enthusiasm and professional experience for a few hours.


Costas is best known for his NBC sports casting, his two HBO programs, and for hosting the Olympics since 1992. He has received nearly twenty Emmys and numerous other honors and awards. However, regardless of his success, Costas spoke humbly when answering students' questions.


Costas reminded students that although no one can have 100 percent approval, they should not let critics deter them from following their intuition.


"It's foolish to allow [criticism] to affect you," Costas said. "But you have to accept that as part of the atmosphere."


Costas encouraged students to remain true to their beliefs and do the best job they can.
