Tom Sussi worked most of his adult life in Mainstream Media. Sussi began his reporting career in newspaper, switched to radio and eventually worked nearly 30 years in television as an Emmy Award winning Investigative and Consumer Reporter with stops in Lansing, Flint, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Orlando and Columbus.

​

During his career, Sussi won dozens of awards including seven Regional Emmys and numerous Associated Press awards in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

​

In 2019, frustrated with the direction of Mainstream and unable to produce Real, Raw, Relevant reports, Sussi quit Mainstream, and in September of 2020, started The Sussi Report.
