As a commentator on press public service and the Pulitzer Prizes, he regularly contributes to the Web site of the St. Petersburg, Florida-based Poynter Institute. He has taught journalism as an adjunct professor at Emerson College in Boston, and loves discussing Pulitzer-winning journalism with college classes around the country. While with CFO, from 2006 to 2007 Harris was national president of the 800-member American Society of Business Publication Editors. He currently serves as ASBPE Foundation president, and is a founding member of the ASBPE ethics committee.

The son of a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Harris began his career as a copyboy and later a reporter for the Post-Dispatch. While attending Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism he was managing editor of the Daily Northwestern. In 1968 he reported for the Los Angeles Times, where one assignment was helping cover the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

After three years at the Journal in Pittsburgh he moved to the West Coast, taking over the Journal's aerospace beat and writing about airlines, entertainment and sports--including the 1984 Summer Olympics. As deputy bureau chief he helped coordinate coverage of such stories as the 1992 race rioting that followed the police beating of Rodney King, and the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

His research for Pulitzer's Gold began in 2002, when he returned to St. Louis to make a presentation, on the hundredth anniversary of his father's birth, about the five Public Service Pulitzers won by the Post-Dispatch.
