Power is shifting from institutions to the individual journalist

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 The Star, you are already a brand ambassador for the company
