For the third year in a row, people who love newspapers are taking to Twitter for #LoveMyNewspaper day. Most of those people, as of this morning, were newspaper journalists.
There's also a politician, haters and readers.
You probably don't need a hashtag right now to see why journalism matters. But students at The Declaration, the newspaper at New Jersey's Colonia High School, offer a good reminder of why many of us became journalists. The hiccups in the background are also pretty charming.
"I might do it when I get older or whatever, who knows," DeAndre Oglesby said in a video uploaded to Twitter.
He loves the writing, the creativity and getting to talk to people.
