Gardiner Harris Biography

Gardiner Harris is an investigative journalist and author whose career spans more than three decades, with reporting across local, national, and international beats. Harris's work has contributed to reforms, including exposing corruption in Kentucky’s coal industry, which led to changes in mine safety laws, and uncovering pharmaceutical malfeasance at The Wall Street Journal, where his investigations resulted in criminal charges against executives and substantial fines.

During his tenure at The New York Times, Harris reported on public health issues, including the withdrawal of unsafe medicines and the passage of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, highlighting his focus on accountability and public welfare.

Harris's global perspective expanded as South Asia correspondent for The New York Times, where his coverage of air pollution and sanitation in India drew legislative reforms and international attention, including a United Nations conclave. His assignments have included roles as White House and diplomatic correspondent. Harris has faced threats to his safety and government pushback in the course of his investigative journalism. His work has been recognized with honors such as the George Polk Award, the Worth Bingham Prize, and recognition as a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

As an author, Harris wrote "No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson," an exposé examining the practices of a major healthcare conglomerate. His books and public appearances demonstrate a commitment to reporting on public health, corporate accountability, and investigative journalism. Harris continues to contribute as a freelance journalist and author, focusing on holding institutions accountable and informing public discourse.
