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.
The Gallery opened on October 20, 2009, in honor of the National Day on Writing, and continued to accept submissions until June 1, 2011.
Viewers could browse the Gallery to learn about the many ways Americans incorporated writing in their daily lives.
Submissions included short stories, scholarly research, poetry, blogs, multimedia compositions, and even informal writing such as recipes or text messages.
