Sean Cudahy is a seasoned journalist, having spent the better part of a decade as a reporter. His career includes a long stint in local news and more recently, coverage of the travel and airline sphere.

Originally from Charlottesville, Virginia, Sean began his reporting career at NBC affiliate WVIR-TV in his hometown shortly before his graduation from American University in Washington.

After three years spent performing virtually every role in the newsroom — from on-air reporting to shooting video, editing, producing and anchoring — in 2017 Sean joined Cox Media Group’s CBS affiliate WHIO-TV, the dominant, top-rated station in Dayton Ohio.

Sean served as lead evening reporter in Dayton, in a role that put him in the middle of significant breaking news. Sean was on the ground during a historic tornado outbreak — deemed a tornado emergency by the National Weather Service — on Memorial Day 2019. Later that summer, he also reported live in the aftermath of a tragic mass shooting in Dayton’ busiest downtown business district.

While in Ohio, Sean also filed numerous reports for WHIO’s I-team, uncovering discrepancies in the state’s COVID-19 nursing home case reporting, shedding a light on the scope of human trafficking in southwest Ohio, and highlighting unaddressed safety hazards at a community pool where a child drowned.

​

Most recently, Sean was thrilled to merge his passion for all things travel, airlines and aviation with his background in journalism as a reporter for The Points Guy, a global travel site that boasts more than 10 million unique monthly visitors.

Filing stories off-camera after eight years delivering live reports for local news stations, Sean’s stories included in-depth reporting on the travel challenges airlines and passengers faced during the summer of 2022, the steps companies across the travel sector have taken to “unbundle” services customers previously got for free, and myth-busting whether there is, in fact, a 'best day of the week' on which customers can get the cheapest airfare.

At the core of all Sean’s reporting — on or off-camera, broadcast or text — is a focus on the people: Those affected by the story, and those watching or reading it. Sean is passionate about finding the true human impact of an issue, and explaining complex topics in a way the audience can easily understand.

Sean currently lives in North Carolina’s Research Triangle — right in between Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill — with his wife, Kaitie, who is completing her residency in pediatrics at the University of North Carolina.
