Tuesday is National News Engagement Day. It's a day to encourage people to read, watch, like, tweet, post, text, email, listen to or comment on news, says the National News Engagement Day website, which offers resources for participation in the day.
"National News Engagement Day will not only contribute to an informed
society, it will encourage people of all ages to explore news and raise
awareness about the importance of being informed," says the website. "National News
Engagement Day will also help people discover the benefits of news,
whether giving them something new to talk and tweet about or making them
feel empowered as they learn news can be helpful in their daily lives.
And in an era when public regard for the press is at its lowest level,
National News Engagement Day provides an opportunity to better educate
the public about the press’ principles, process, watchdog role and
First Amendment rights." (Read more)
