Hi, James, Ana, I wouldn't bother with any. Starting a blog and posting links to things you've written has got to still be the best way to independantly engage with media, hasn't it?
Having said that, I bloody love social media platforms and have constant fun changing my job status and creating a false, idealistic persona through updates and work, education details. I see it as a kind of literary narrative experiment. Social media is the perfect host for trickster playfullness. Last month I was the Chief Satirist for Baader-Meinhoff. I can only imagine how that skewers the marketing info about me? Not been asked to buy weapons yet though, so maybe it doesn't work? Ana, have you got any links to news articles about this? It bypassed me.
