I leveled up as a blogger

Naturally, I am flattered. And the journo who did my piece is so poised and lovely.
No credit… but so it goes with traditional mainstream media! Great conversations in the comments on the merits of both media at this link here, including The Parking Ticket Geek’s idea on how to attribute bloggers and save networks money at the same time.
No credit? You should condescendingly reach out, congratulate them on their work, and offer to be their “social media expert” any time they need someone on-air. It’s not right that you have to work it this way, but in the long run you can bring them around. I’ve seen it done. Also, you’d be great on-camera.
