About khou

Doug Miller has worked as everything from a police reporter to a newspaper editor during more than two decades in Houston's news business. Now he's a general assignment reporter specializing in politics for 11 News.

Miller broke into broadcasting at age 16, hosting a Watergate-era telephone talk show in El Paso. After attending the University of Houston, he reported for several Houston news organizations, including KTRH Radio, United Press International's Houston bureau and the Houston Business Journal. As managing editor of the Houston Business Journal, Miller broadcast daily business reports during KHOU's morning newscasts.

He joined 11 News as a full-time reporter in 1993. His political reporting led to a tour of duty as KHOU's Washington bureau chief, where he covered the White House, Capitol Hill and various presidential campaigns.

Miller has won numerous journalism awards for his work in three media -- newspapers, radio, and television -- including three Texas Katie Awards and a regional Emmy Award.

A curious footnote: In 1985, Miller became the first contestant selected from Houston to appear on the syndicated version of Jeopardy! During four days on the quiz show, he won $16,000.

Miller volunteers at Houston Taping for the Blind Radio, reading and broadcasting magazines to blind Houstonians.
