Celebrate News Engagement Day on Tuesday, Oct. 5; you can make it part of National Newspaper Week, Oct. 3-9 - Entrepreneur Generations

Tuesday is News Engagement Day, a time to encourage people to get more involved with the news by reading, watching, liking, sharing and commenting on news stories.

The day is an opportunity for local news outlets to remind readers (and potential readers, on social-media platforms) why it's important to read the news, and how local journalism and news literacy affects democracy and the wellbeing of communities.

Though it's not affiliated with National Newspaper Week, which goes from Oct. 3-9, the two observations can easily be combined.
