Steve Wilson

Steve Wilson is an investigative reporter with more than 30 years experience on local and national television. Before joining the "Action News" team as Chief Investigative reporter in September 2001, his previous investigations earned him a national reputation for a solid, direct, and no-nonsense approach to reporting about a variety of issues.

Steve set the standards for consumer reporting in newsrooms such as CBS's flagship station WCBS-TV, and ABC-owned KGO-TV in San Francisco.

His reports have focused on faulty products, the misbehavior of corporations and their executives, TV preachers who were fleecing the flock, and government officials' caught-in-the-act of putting their own interests ahead of the public interest.
Steve's work has received recognition not only for reporting but also for courage. His work has appeared in many places including ABC News 20/20, and the nationally syndicated programs, "Breakaway" and "The Reporters".

Winner of several Emmys and others prestigious national and local awards, Steve's work on the K-Mart story broadcast on Channel 7 earned his most recent honor, a Edward R Murrow award.

He is a graduate of Indiana University and is married to journalist Jane Akre..
