We all know journalism matters, but now the National Press Foundation is spreading that message across the Twitterverse.

National Press Foundation: Why Journalism Matters Contest

For the second year in a row, the National Press Foundation will hold its Why Journalism Matters contest. This year we will conduct the contest via Twitter, using the hashtag, #journalismmatters and the winner will receive a 16 GB WiFi iPad. Tell us why journalism matters – for democracy, for personal and social freedom, or for any other reason – and the free iPad could be yours. Remember to use the #journalismmatters hashtag. Follow us @natpress to keep posted on our journalism programs.
