Dallas-based Fox4 is adding Allison Harris as a general assignment reporter, the station announced Wednesday.
The McKinney, TX native is scheduled to start on May 9th after a two-year stint at KOTV-TV, the CBS affiliate in Tulsa, OK.
“Allison’s strong research skills and tenacity have resulted in multiple exclusive stories,” Fox4 vice president and news director Robin Whitmeyer said in a publicity release. “I am confident she will successfully bring to light the important stories in DFW.”
Harris is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with a degree in journalism. “I am passionate about in-depth storytelling,” she said. “I can’t wait to join the talented team at Fox4 and produce the quality journalism Texans have grown to expect from this station.”
She’s moved up the ladder fast after previous short tenures at KOTV, Sherman’s KXII-TV and internships at KTEN-TV in Denison and WRC-TV in Washington, D.C.
At KOTV, Harris was the station’s “lead nightside reporter,” according to Whitmeyer.
