Antoinette Biordi, 4X Emmy award winning anchorwoman for News12 Long Island, was recently selected as Top Local Female Anchorwoman of the Year for 2024 by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for her outstanding leadership, dedication, and commitment to the industry.
Inclusion with the International Association of Top Professionals is an honor in itself; only a few members in each discipline are chosen for this distinction. These special honorees are distinguished based on their professional accomplishments, academic achievements, leadership abilities, longevity in the field, other affiliations, and contributions to their communities. All Honorees are invited to attend the IAOTP annual award gala at the end of this year for a night to honor their achievements.
With over two and a half decades of experience in the industry, Ms. Biordi began her career as a one-man band reporter, producing, shooting, writing and editing daily stories for News Center 7 in Ithaca, NY. In 1998 she worked as reporter/anchor for WETM (NBC) in Elmira, NY and then transitioned to WNYT (NBC) in Albany, NY, and FOX 23 News in Albany a year later. After 5 years in upstate New York, she jumped at the chance to be closer to home and began working as a freelance reporter at News 12 Long Island before working full time at News 12 Westchester in 2003. She then transitioned to News 12 Long Island in 2010. She reports, interviews people and writes stories for daily newscasts on every subject from features to crime and everything in between on Long Island. As a news reporter and anchor she enjoys learning about people, their struggles and challenges as well as what inspires them. As a 1st generation Italian-American she has a deep appreciation for culture, language, food, art and music.
In 2007 Antoinette earned a prestigious New York Emmy Award in the category of Sports Coverage for a series called “More than Just a Game”. It was an inspiring story about physically challenged children who despite their limitations were able to beat the odds and excel in the Special Olympics. She also received two Emmy Nominations, one in the category of “Writing Composite” and the other for a piece about adults who were physically challenged but overcame their deepest fear of the water in order to steer and control a sailboat on the Hudson River.
During her time at News 12 Westchester, she also worked on a series called “Wasted Youth” where she went undercover with police as they busted an underage drinking party. As the story progressed, undercover surveillance video discovered that several convenience stores were selling beer to underage kids. A year later she did a series called “Westchester Teens: Life in the Fast Lane” where she exposed parents who were hosting underage drinking parties for their own kids and their friends. The drinking epidemic continued the next year in a series called “When Mommy Drives Drunk” as she found dozens of mothers were driving drunk with their own kids in the car. Those series combined with her daily stories won her several distinguished awards including Edward R. Murrow Awards, Deadline Club Awards, New York Press Club, AP awards, AEGIS award, Gold Aurora Awards, New York Festivals, Telly Award and a Videographer Award.
Before embarking on her career path, Ms. Biordi earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communications from New York Institute of Technology – Old Westbury.
Throughout her illustrious career, Ms. Biordi has received many awards and accolades and has been recognized worldwide for her accomplishments. This year she will be considered for the Empowered Woman Award and to be featured in TIP (Top Industry Professionals) Magazine. She will be honored at IAOTP’s annual awards gala at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville this December for her selection as Top Local Female Anchorwoman of the Year.
In addition to her successful career, Ms. Biordi is also a public speaker who routinely get requested to MC/Host Gala and Fundraising events. In addition, she is a Certified Health Coach and Certified Spin & Group Fitness Instructor.
The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated: “Choosing Ms. Biordi for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. She is inspirational, influential, and a true visionary and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her accomplishments at this year’s gala.”
Looking back Ms. Biordi attributes her success to her perseverance, work ethic, and the mentors she has had along the way. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband, her son and their dog. She loves to read, travel, workout, cook, make her home-made wine, take pictures and play several musical instruments including the accordion. In the future, she hopes to inspire and influence those getting into the field.
