Comments on: Digital Broken Telephone Pt 2: I’m an “Intern-Turned Mastermind” http://www.rahafharfoush.com/2009/02/digital-broken-telephone-pt-2-im-an-intern-turned-mastermind/ At the intersection of web culture, innovation, and creativity Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:08:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Annalie Killian http://www.rahafharfoush.com/2009/02/digital-broken-telephone-pt-2-im-an-intern-turned-mastermind/comment-page-1/#comment-14772 Annalie Killian Tue, 03 Mar 2009 23:04:34 +0000 http://www.rahafharfoush.com/blog/?p=328#comment-14772 I think you have dealt with all of this "broken telephone" stuff in the utmost professional and transparent manner-and constructively too. A sad side-effect of the eruption of citizen journalism is that it has led to a decline in professional journalistic process and the rumour mill becomes reported "fact" in 30 secs. Traditional journalists too have become less inclined to check facts and jump on the bandwagon without depth of research and we have seen reputations and businesses ruined through false reporting and social media slander. Best wishes for your exciting new role and I look forward to inviting you to Australia for our AMPLIFY Innovation Festival in Sydney when you are not so busy moving countries!

I think you are a star. I regularly encourage young people to work for free, in order to use their experience to promote themselves. In the UK, in the creative industries, this is how everyone starts out, doing the smallest of jobs (such as making the tea) in order to get the most mileage out of it as possible. It shows that you are a skilled promoter, and you believe in what you do, and you want to share it with others. Sometimes its good to ruffle a few feathers, and the only thing worse than being talked about is NOT being talked about. When you work for free, the ONLY payment you can receive is recognition, and it sounds like you just got a bonus! keep up the hard work. Wow, this is really amazing.
