Begay has been a reporter for the New York Times, the Navajo Times, and the Portland Oregonian. In 2015 Begay served as the President of the Native American Journalists Association. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Montana’s School of Journalism. Visit the University of Montana’s Native News website to see the work of Begay and his students.
