About

Hi! I’m Jake. I’m a journalist and writer with more than a decade of experience in the news industry who’s interested in everything pop culture-related.

I started off writing opinion pieces for my college newspaper at Texas Christian University and eventually worked my way up to Executive Editor of TCU 360. Since then, my work has appeared in Broad Sound, WFAA, Book & Film Globe, the Austin American-Statesman, the Victoria Advocate, Bedlam Magazine, Wide Open Country, the Wise County Messenger, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, USA TODAY, TCU 360 and the Rhea-Herald-News.

Now I’m the Service Journalism Editor at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, where I manage a team of reporters who work daily to provide you with the utility news you can use.

Writing and finding out new information is my passion. I love writing feature pieces, movie reviews and pieces on religion and country music. All of those passions are combined in my Substack newsletter, Jacob’s Letter, which you can subscribe to here. You can follow me on Twitter and Bluesky @jakeharris4 and on Letterboxd @808jake_ or you can send me an invite to connect on LinkedIn. Tell me your story.
