“Harris is credited with being the first to reveal fraud in Texas savings and loan institutions in the 1980s. His WFAA news reports on the state’s S&L crisis helped lead to government investigations that resulted in reforms, as well as prison time for several executives.
“He also covered wars in Somalia and Iraq, including being embedded with U.S. troops during the second Gulf War.”
