What is Navajo Times?

Navajo Times is an English-language news website covering the Navajo Nation (Diné) and surrounding communities. Its masthead describes it as "Diné bi Naaltsoos," and its homepage organizes reporting under "Top Stories" and "Featured" sections. If you are looking for local news about Navajo communities, tribal governance, and regional events, this is the type of outlet to check.

What the site covers

The homepage presents news as a stream of featured stories rather than as a general-interest national publication. One example from the site's own front page: a report on flooding that prompted inspection of the San Juan River bridge in Shiprock, New Mexico, where a state transportation road crew found no immediate concern according to Delegate Eugenia Charles-Newton. That story illustrates the typical scope — infrastructure, safety, and official response within or affecting Navajo communities.

Coverage themes visible from the site include:

• Navajo Nation affairs — tribal government, delegates, and community decisions
• Regional news — events in and around Navajo communities in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah
• Cultural and ceremonial matters — for instance, a featured report that the Diné Hataałii Association ordered a ceremonial halt after drownings in New Mexico
• Public safety and infrastructure — flooding, roads, bridges, and emergency response

Who it is for

The site serves readers who want news centered on the Navajo Nation rather than a national or international feed. Because the content is published in English, it is accessible to outside readers, researchers, and anyone following Diné issues, while still being written from within that community's news context.

Access and subscription

The site includes a "Subscribe | Login" link, which indicates that at least some content or account features sit behind a subscription or login. The available information does not specify which articles are free, what a subscription costs, or what a login unlocks — so treat paywalled or account-gated access as possible rather than assuming everything is open.

When to use it

Use Navajo Times when you need:

• Local reporting on Navajo Nation communities and leadership
• Regional news from the Four Corners area affecting Diné residents
• A community-based source rather than a national outlet's coverage of tribal issues

If your question is about national or international news, or about a different tribe's territory, this site is unlikely to be the right starting point.
