"We Are Journalists" Tumblr Recalls The Romanticism of Reporting

There are only 12 entries so far, but the posts on the new Tumblr We Are Journalists are moving enough to pack a stiff punch. Hovering somewhere between endearingly earnest and slightly self-important, the blog highlights messages from journalists discussing why they entered the industry and what it means to them to be a writer and/or editor. “We are journalists. We are proud of what we do. We are tired of bad press about the press,” begins the About section of the Tumblr.
