It's so important..

Being a journalism/communication major, the newspaper is a big part of my own life. It sounds weird to certain people, but the newspaper is where I got my dreams from.

I've loved writing since I was as young as I could remember. Around the time I was in high school, is when I realized I wanted to be a reporter/writer for the newspaper.

My junior year, I had an internship for the Post-Gazette in Downtown, Pittsburgh. From then on, I knew what I wanted to do. My goal was to go to school for journalism and try for a job at a local newspaper, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

If the newspaper dies, there goes everything I wanted and worked for since high school.

I'm sure I am not the only one who wants to write for a newspaper, either in Pittsburgh or another city. What about writing for the New York Times? If the newspaper dies, those dreams are gone because job cuts will happen. If job cuts happen, they won't be able to hire new writers.

Do we really want to lose everything we worked so hard for these last couple years???

<----- We want the newspaper to stay on top of the internet!!
