After earning his degree in 2022, Kantor started his career in the archival department for Showtime’s The Circus, a fast-paced documentary series where he learned the value of teamwork and creative problem-solving. He carried those lessons into his current role at Inside Edition, where he’s gone from running errands to conducting interviews, creating graphics, monitoring trials and even participating in investigative stings. In only a few years at Inside Edition, he has worked on hundreds of stories, though not all of them make it to air.

For one 2022 story, when New York City was experiencing a high volume of pickpockets, Kantor stood at Rockefeller Center with a wallet protruding from his bag to see how long it would take before someone stole it.

Kantor credits much of his success to skills he developed at UD, both in production and in philosophy. “Studying philosophy taught me foundational skills for compiling good research, conducting interviews and, on a personal note, understanding my own core values.”

Looking ahead, Kantor has a flexible vision for his future. While he’d love to take on a larger role in investigative reporting, he’s also drawn to mission-driven work. For now, he’s focused on continuing to grow—both as a storyteller and as someone who makes an impact.
