Roy Peter Clark of the Poynter Institute presents the case for self-promotion, long anathema to many working journalists, but now a necessity in the era of declining big media brands.

"There is no chance that my bosses will pay to put my picture and name on a billboard or the side of a bus. It’s up to me."
