π Why Is National Hug a Newsperson Day Important
Even when no elections are scheduled, it is critical to be an educated citizen. But, let’s face it, it’s difficult to keep up with the news all the time.That is why journalists are so crucial. We adore them all, from the writers who make us eager to read their articles to the news anchors who are entertaining (or cute) enough to keep us tuned in each week. They are all deserving of hugs!
Did you know that news anchors must get up between 2 and 4 a.m. every day to (literally) get the show on the road? And should reporters have to remain on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to report on breaking news? These folks give up all of their spare time so that we can stay informed. We admire their dedication to the news and believe it needs to be recognized.
Newscasters set aside their personal biases and report on the news objectively so that individuals on all sides of the political line can stay informed. It requires maturity and wisdom to set aside personal beliefs in order to present both sides of an issueβeven if you believe one side is utterly incorrect. Plus, we’re sure they’ve honed their game faces. We want the face of a news anchor if we ever decide to play poker professionally.
π How To Observe National Hug a Newsperson Day
β‘ Drop your favorite local newsperson a line
National news anchors understand the significant role they play in keeping Americans informed, which is why it is important to show appreciation to your favorite local news anchor. Contacting local news anchors is easier compared to reaching out to national ones, and they will be delighted to receive a message from you. It will reassure them that all the early mornings they spent waking up at 4 a.m. were worthwhile.
β‘ Hug a newsperson (duh)
It’s probably not surprising to hear, but it’s important to show appreciation for news reporters. However, it’s crucial to clarify that we don’t mean you should obsessively follow your favorite TV anchor like Anderson Cooper. Instead, show equal love and admiration to your local news anchors, and give them the warmest hugs they’ve ever experienced.
β‘ Read (or watch) the news
If you make it a habit to stay informed by reading the news regularly, we greatly appreciate and admire you. However, if you haven’t been doing so, now is the perfect time to make a change. Show your appreciation for your favorite journalist by actively engaging with their work. You may also want to explore and discover new news anchors to follow.
