Career

Early career

Leamy began her television news career in Bakersfield, California at KERO-TV 23. She then worked at WFLA-TV in Tampa from 1994 to 1997. Leamy was the consumer and investigative reporter at Fox 5 WTTG in Washington, DC from 1997 to 2005.[17]

Current career

Currently, Elisabeth Leamy writes a Washington Post consumer column[18] about topics such as how to avoid robocalls,[19] whether expensive paint brands are worth it,[20] and ways to save money on organic groceries.[21]

Leamy launched a podcast in June 2006 called "Easy Money" about ways to make more money, save more money, and find your unclaimed money.[22] The podcast has an accompanying blog where Leamy posts detailed show notes for her listeners.[23]

Leamy continues to work as the investigative correspondent for The Dr. Oz Show. She frequently discusses her consumer and medical reports as a guest on Washington, D.C. radio stations[24] and television stations.[25]

From 2005 to 2013, she was the consumer correspondent for Good Morning America and other ABC News programs.[3] Leamy continues to write an ABC News Business column.[26] She was host of the YouTube show "Free For All," about free products and services available to consumers. Leamy is the author of two books, Save BIG: Cut Your Top 5 Costs and Save Thousands (2010)[6] and The Savvy Consumer: How to Avoid Scams and Rip-Offs That Cost You Time and Money (2004).[7]

Notable news reports

In 1999, while at WTTG, Leamy broadcast an investigative story about a Washington, D.C. rave party called "Buzz." The story alleged that D.C. police officers working off-duty security for the party ignored drug use by patrons. The Washington City Paper criticized the story.[27] Buzz was temporarily shut down and the owners later sued WTTG.

In 2006, Leamy investigated the herbal remedy "Airborne" for Good Morning America,[28] questioning the company's clinical trial evidence and marketing claims. Two years later, Airborne settled a class action lawsuit and FTC charges, not admitting fault, but agreeing to refund consumers up to $30 million.[29][30]

In 2010, Leamy conducted an exclusive interview with President Barack Obama about the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.[31]

From 2011 to 2012, Leamy did a series of reports for Good Morning America called "Show Me the Money" which reunited people with unclaimed money held by the government totaling nearly $2 million.[32]

Leamy's story about a West Virginia Woman who was trying to collect a $10 million judgment from an abusive debt collector was ABC's most-trafficked web feature of 2012.[33][34]

In 2013, Leamy reported for The Dr. Oz Show that epidural steroid injections for back pain are not FDA approved and have caused injuries and deaths.[35][36]

Later that year, she reported that LASIK eye surgery had more serious side effects than first reported.[37]

In 2015, Leamy reported for The Dr. Oz Show that ten doctors who had called upon Columbia University to fire Dr. Oz had ties to the Genetically Modified Food industry.[38] Dr. Oz has said that genetically modified food should be labeled as such.[39]
