For a few years, Brown assisted in the production and writing of public television seminars on topics such as ethics, law, foreign policy, and the Constitution.
Brown then joined the PBS NewsHour, which was then known as The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, in 1988.

Brown began his career as a reporter and producer before being elevated to the senior producer for national affairs. In 1998, he began working as an on-camera correspondent, covering both current affairs and the arts.
When the job of arts correspondent for the NewsHour was created in March 2002, Brown was named to it. Three years later, Brown was elevated to the senior correspondent. The NewsHour created a blog named “Art Beat” in December 2008, which covers arts and culture and is authored by Brown and other NewsHour correspondents. When The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer was rebranded PBS NewsHour in December 2009, Brown joined the anchor team; Jim Lehrer was joined on every show by either Judy Woodruff, Gwen Ifill, or Brown.
After Lehrer’s departure in June 2012, the show was hosted alternately by Woodruff, Ifill, Brown, Ray Suarez, and Margaret Warner. Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff became the only anchors in September 2013, putting a stop to the predicament. Brown was also named “chief correspondent for arts, culture, and society” at the same time.
Brown co-hosted the NewsHour series “Where Poetry Lives” with Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey from September 2012 to May 2014. They traveled across the United States, using poetry to report on societal issues. Brown began hosting the NewsHour series “Culture at Risk” in 2014, which is on vulnerable heritage in the United States and around the world. For that series, he has reported from Myanmar, Peru, Mali, Nepal, Cuba, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, and South Africa, among others. In 2018, Brown became the host of the PBS NewsHour’s “Now Read This” monthly book club, which was created in conjunction with The New York Times.
During his time as an arts correspondent for NewsHour, Brown covered a variety of topics, including science and politics, in addition to arts, culture, and society. He co-anchored coverage of President Barack Obama’s second inauguration, and he has covered election night in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 presidential elections.
Brown has also issued a poetry collection called The News, which includes 45 poems about his experiences reporting on television, as well as personal incidents in his life. Copper Canyon Press published it in May 2015, and poet Robert Pinsky wrote the foreword. “[Brown] knows how to tell a tale, and The News does a fantastic job of blending the language of journalism and the power of poetry,” stated Elizabeth Lund in a review for The Washington Post.
