Young reporters have had some success "branding themselves" for jobs at the Times, according to the New York Observer.

Fame and Obscurity at The New York Times: The
brand is you! The new new new Journalism thrives on the new anxiety in
journalism: avoiding redundancy. Hey, kids, they're hiring at the Times!
The article also mentions this Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism event:...a day-long workshop called "Building A Personal Website and Your Online
Brand"; the attendees were all "working journalists." In the morning
session, the workshop leader, Columbia J-school Dean of Students Sree
Sreenivasan, led the participants through a number of journalists' Web
sites, and asked which sites they found useful and which they didn't.
Sree Sreenivasan is a good guy to know, by the way. The "dean of students" title is true, but misleading. He's better known off-campus as a writer and consultant on online-journalism issues, appearing on NBC-TV and the Poynter Institute website. His home page above features plenty of useful links for online and offline journalism students -- and working reporters... with a lot less clutter than mine.3:40:07 PM #
