I agree that this is indeed a tricky road to navigate. I guess that my thought on that might be just to start small and begin to develop some guidelines as you go along. I think that the more time you spend using social media like Twitter etc., the more you start to just get a feel for how much is too much. (I had to be dragged kicking and screaming onto Facebook myself, for example, and now I love it.) Follow other journalists like many you feature on this site and see what they are doing. Think about ways you can talk not only about yourself but about your journalism. I think we forget how little the public knows about how we do what we do, how we aren't just this monolith known as "the media" but real people who work very hard and got into the business to make a difference. You might consider checking out this brilliant paper my friend Doreen Marchionni wrote about journalism as conversation that outlines much of the research I talked about in the video. It was an award-winner at the AEJMC conference in August. grantmeaccess.com/ConExpAEJ.doc Thanks, Patrick. I agree that this is indeed a tricky road to navigate.
