FIR #241: Your Personal Brand, Journalist Edition

A public kerfuffle between two journalists on Twitter revolved around whether journalists need to establish a personal brand. The fact is, everybody already has a personal brand; the question is how you approach the maintenance of that brand in a social media world. Neville and Shel explore the elements of personal brand-building in this episode. ---- The next monthly, long-form episode of FIR will drop on Monday, April 18, 2022.
