#ImAJournalistBecause: News 3 celebrates World Press Freedom Day

#ImAJournalistBecause I love people and I love telling their stories…and because I thought having an official title would mean fewer weird looks when I ask strangers personal questions. #WorldPressFreedomDay (P.S. I LOVE my @WTKR3 team!) pic.twitter.com/V8bODg7a3I

#ImAJournalistBecause I care about people. Their stories, positive or negative, deserve to be told accurately and fairly. Grateful to be able to do this everyday at @WTKR3

#ImAJournalistBecause through the times of great sorrow and times of great triumph, we are far more alike than different. Being trusted to give voice to our shared story of humanity is humbling, powerful, and important. #WorldPressFreedomDay @WTKR3 pic.twitter.com/TQDsWNbccO

#ImAJournalistBecause my job allows me to tell stories dear to my heart & give back. This screen grab is from my 1st time volunteering @vbspca for a story. I cried a lot in this story but I was able to really share a piece of myself with our viewers too. #WorldPressFreedomDay pic.twitter.com/4vo1jlQC6H

#IAmAJournalistBecause it satisfies my curiosity about the world. Wanted to do it since I was a kid and watched man walk on the moon. #WorldPressFreedomDay pic.twitter.com/lgJXtOL2H4

Irony: I haven’t engaged in the #ImAJournalistBecause initiative…because I’ve been busy being a journalist all day!

Enterprising & telling compelling feature stories is a passion of mine & one of the many reasons I’m hashtag blessed to be a #journalist.#WorldPressFreedomDay pic.twitter.com/6goWeMZE1b
