Craig Santy

Craig Santy (born March 26, 1969) is well known in the world of television as one of the pioneers of what is today called reality TV.

Craig Terrence Santy was born in Staten Island, New York, the son of Mr. Craig Michael Santy and Rita Lynn Considine Santy.

Craig's big break came on December 22, 1993 when Craig scooped the Michael Jackson molestation story, releasing previously unknown details about the star, and an ongoing investigation into sexual misconduct by the Santa Barbara's DA office and the Sheriff. Following his stint at UPI Craig returned to NY, where he began working for an experimental new television project with other Columbia Grads entitled, I-Witness. The ground-breaking gritty series put small format cameras in the hands of journalists, and invited them to make long form pieces on any subject of their choosing. Craig's first project was to document the life of a rural Militia group in Utah. The resulting work was so compelling, CBS later decided to invite Craig to co-host a special edition of 48 Hours where a condensed version of the 3 hour documentary was shown. A second project took Craig to the rural mountains of North Carolina, where Craig documented the lives of numerous Down Syndrome children living with adopted parents.

He has recently been the supervising producer for a number of episodes for the Crime 360 program.^[1]
