David Beg-Knows Chattanooga and gives his own story
CBS’ David Begnaud shares his own story of becoming a well-known journalist with News 12’s Chip Chapman.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – CBS’ David Begnaud was sent to Chattanooga to find a story in 48 hours and made time to stop by the News 12 station to give us his story.
As part of his “Beg-Knows America” segment on CBS Mornings, Begnaud is sent to a random location and must find a story that “lights his soul on fire” in 48 hours. For this week’s segment, he was sent to Chattanooga, Tennessee. After visiting Coolidge Park and the Walnut Street Bridge, he found a story bridged by two men that are both on a journey of discovery and expression.
While on pursuit of a story that shows the better angels of America, Begnaud visited the News 12 station to meet with staff and for an interview with Chip Chapman.
The positions were swapped as Begnaud got to tell his story this time.
He started his journalism at a very young age when someone commented on his strong voice and his career began when he was in college. Eventually, he was hired by CBS and was the face of every man-made or natural disaster. After facing burn out from covering heartbreaking news stories, he pivoted to cover heart-mending stories which resulted in the creation of “Beg-Knows America.”
