Gardiner Harris

Gardiner Harris is a San Diego writer who spent more than three decades as a daily journalist roaming from the hollows of Eastern Kentucky to the mangrove forests of Bangladesh and to the corridors of power at the White House. In every place, he spurred profound changes in law, lifestyle and outlook.

Harris became a pharmaceutical reporter at The Wall Street Journal, where his investigation of Bristol-Myers Squibb led to criminal charges against three top executives and the dismissal of its chief executive. He became the public health reporter for The New York Times, where his investigations led to the withdrawals of a multi-billion-dollar diabetes medicine and dozens of popular pediatric cough-and-cold drugs. His stories exposing secret payments from drug makers to prominent academics led to the passage of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act requiring pharmaceutical and medical device companies to report payments to physicians and teaching hospitals.

In 2015, Harris returned to Washington DC to become a Times White House correspondent and then a Times diplomatic correspondent. He left daily journalism in 2019 to write “No More Tears.” Harris collected numerous awards for his journalism, including a George Polk Award, and he was part of teams that won a Pulitzer Prize and was a Pulitzer finalist
