Why personal branding matters
•In print you are a faceless byline.
•On the net you are what you share:your images, your stories, your videos, your resume, your profiles, your comments, your status updates, your tweets, your favourite books, music, movies, links, your bookmarks.
•If you identify yourself as an employee of your media organisation, you are already a brand ambassadorfor the company
