rdf:langString National Journalism Day, also known as National Day on Writing, is a United States national celebration of writing which first took place on November 12, 2009, with a second year celebration on November 12, 2010. Sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and officially recognized in both 2009 and 2010 through Senate resolutions, The National Day of Journalism asks Americans to consider the role in writing in everyday life. Journalism Day is considered a fun holiday that appreciates and corresponds with journalists and writers all over. In correlation with the National Day on Writing, NCTE created the National Gallery of Writing so that writers of all kinds can share their work publicly. As of 2017, the holiday is now celebrated on October 20th. According to the NCTE website, the holiday exists to: 1. highlight the remarkable variety of writing we engage in today;2. provide a collection for research on whether writing today has risen to new highs or sunk to new lows; and3. help us help others to write better.
