CLEVELAND — Over the weekend, Twitter kicked off a campaign ahead of World Press Freedom Day, May 3, to shine light on some of the local journalists making an impact in their community.
The social media app asked users to tag their favorite local journalists and use "#FollowLocalJournalists" to take part in the celebration.
"#WorldPressFreedomDay is happening. Today & every day, we celebrate journalists, journalism and the importance of #pressfreedom," Twitter News wrote on the app. "Join us to encourage people to #FollowLocalJournalists around the world."
In honor of World Press Freedom Day and the campaign to "#FollowLocalJournalists," here are the 3News journalists telling the stories that matter to Northeast Ohioans, and links to follow them on Twitter:
