Marketing Yourself as a Journalist.

There are a variety of celebrities in this world. Some are songwriters, musicians, actors. Others are athletes, models, bodybuilders.

Some celebrities are journalists.

There are obviously advantages to getting your face out there in the journalist realm. For one thing, YOU will   make more moola and have more options in working. Plus, come on...you could get fame...which is something many people want, right?

On the other hand, will you be doing your job? Some people like people just because they know them.
I'll be honest. If Matt Smith(The Doctor, Doctor Who) were to market something, I'd be more likely to get it. Just because...I idolize the television show. Likewise, people may believe what you have to say just because you are a famous journalist. Marketing yourself may make what you have to say become more about you and less about the information you are giving, to some at least.

So, just be careful.
