    Is this the cyber version of what paparazzi do to you when they post themselves at your door hoping to snap a picture of your worst version of yourself walking the dog in dungarees or looking like you've been fighting with cats on the way to the bakery as you just rolled out of bed? (I'm just highlighting the female perspective of "Worst Nightmare Situations When Snapped By Paps"

    shill for big-advertising .. cool .. let's keep the engines of consumption churning out the buy buy buy message, civilization depends on it .. and god knows 6 figures feels good .. enjoy .. and loss of independence of view-point, a small price to pay for security

    i can't blame anyone for wanting to exit the news business, god knows it's been like watching the hindenberg burn in slow motion...but i question why TC wanted to be called a "journalist" in the last IHT profile. i guess we'll all have to rely only on richard li and rupert murdoch to give us unbiased news from asia. *sigh*

    Hi Tom
    Funny, I got a press release about this from Ogilvy about two week's ago. No embargo either.
  • francis · 9 months ago
    edit: the news was not in the press release but was in the email copy that accompanied it.
  • thomascrampton · 9 months ago
    @Francis: You clearly have good sources with internal connections!

    By the way - Twitter did NOT reveal your new job. YOU did (verbally) and someone else broadcast it via Twitter.

    Why talk about it in public if had not yet formally been announced? I thought journalists usually coached the rest of us in media relations..............
