He has worked or written for more than 40 newspapers, blogs, and magazines, including The Dallas Morning News, The Washington Post's Gazette, AOL, One World News Service, Minority Business News USA, Texas Catholic, Dallas Times Herald, Medium, and Alternet.His books include Operation Chaos: The Trump Coup and the Campaign to Erode Democracy [2021], Death of the Rising Sun: A Search for Truth in the JFK Assassination [2017], It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Trip: On the Road of the Longest Two-Week Family Road Trip in History [2014], Walking through the Wall [2012], A Parent's Guide to Dallas/Fort Worth [2003], and And Justice For All: The Untold History of Dallas [2000].Shay has met and interviewed Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Robert Redford, Al Gore, Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey, Jesse Jackson, Magic Johnson, and Tiger Woods, among others. He has exposed systemic racism in politics, government waste, psychiatric facility abuse, contracting inequities, and other societal ills. He was kicked out of the former East Germany several times, detained by authorities in the former Yugoslavia, and strip searched by guards at Los Angeles International Airport.Shay has received awards from numerous professional and community organizations, including Lincoln University's Unity Awards in Media, Maryland-Delaware-Washington, D.C.

That trip was certified as the most miles driven by one driver on a family road trip in roughly two weeks by a world record organization.

One of his landscape works placed fourth in its division in the Texas State Fair and was exhibited there. An Eagle Scout, he has been active in community organizations, including as a board member of the ACLU and Rainbow Bridge, Scouting adult leader, and youth sports coach.After his father passed away in 2008, Shay started using his middle name, James, which was his dad's name. Some of his work is under "Kevin James Shay" and some under "Kevin J. Shay." Some could also be under "Kevin Shay," as well as under "Anonymous" and other pseudonyms.показать меньше
