We agree with all of these…
One of the most recent trending hashtags on Twitter was definitely one that spoke to journalists everywhere, with many taking to social media to both offer and receive some trusted tips on how to make it in the Meeja.
There’s certainly a fair bit of practical and very helpful information to be found on this hashtag, but we couldn’t help but laugh at some of the more, shall we say, alternate tips.
As always, enjoy. We particularly like Andrew Cuneen’s and Arseblog’s words of wisdom…
