Susie Boniface: Anonymity: A Fox's Tale
Susie Boniface is a newspaper reporter who until recently was far better known by her often sarcastic and more than a little enigmatic alter-ego 'Fleet Street Fox'. 'Foxy' became something of a Twitter phenomenon having started her blog as a way of telling the truth about her trade: the stuff that would never otherwise have got printed.
Having worked at pretty much every national newspaper in the country. Her talk is an insider commentary on the press and her love-hate relationship with the industry: an industry that on the one hand, lets you meet fascinating people and travel the world on someone else's dime, but one that is hard, not that well-paid, and where a lot of people hate you before you've even opened your mouth. In this insightful and entertained talk she discusses the pros and cons of anonymity in the trade, sharing stories from a unique journey that's been as much personal as it has professional.
