David Schechter
David wants to leave the world a little better than he found it. As a Senior Reporter at WFAA-TV he gets a chance to do that everyday.
In his work David tries to be fair and accountable to the people, businesses and government agencies he reports on. "I cannot promise you'll be happy I'm telling your story," David often tells the people he's interviewing. "But I will do everything I can to tell it fairly." In fact, David often calls a subject the morning after a major story to hear if he's lived up to his word.
David recently won two of broadcast journalisms top honors: the Scripps Howard National Journalism Award and the National Headliner Grand Award. He's also won 15 regional Emmy awards including 4 for "Best Reporter" during his time at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, MN.
David is a University of Michigan graduate and a Poynter Institute Ethics Fellow. He enjoys speaking about journalism to college and high school classes.
