SELL YOUR SELF !

Because of kindness of my colleague, EKA NADA SHOFA, a lecturer in Communcation Science UNS, Tuesday (3/4/12) my short story become a lecturer in UNS was published in newspaper, SOLOPOS. On the day, a lot of people in my institution greeted me then.

This make me thinking about the effectiveness of newspaper to promote something (or our selves maybe…). Newspaper has great effect to inform something (at least until nowadays…) to other people. If the total printing of a newspaper are 1.000, it means that about 1.000 people will read everything interesting published there. Or maybe more ! Because one newspaper is not only read by 1 person. Maybe 2, 3, 4,……..

Because of this case, I have a simple idea. UNS lecturer who want to be famous and recognized their ability by people, please be diligent to publish their self, their research, and their activity in newspaper. it may good, if we could publish ours not only to newspaper but also other mass media, such as social media. It would make people know who we are.

Not only us that can get the advantage from this publication, but also the people. Sometimes, people have problems and they need an expert to solve it. However, people do not know, how they could find the person willing solve their problem. Publishing our selves as university staff which is recognized as an expert in certain area in mass media makes people easier to find someone they need.

Then, what are you waiting for??? Let’s sell our selves in media, and be famous !
