The Bingo Board by Kyle Clauss & Alex Reimer

The Cliched Journalist

July 31, 2014

This is one of those images that my friend Peter Griffin shared. He discovered it on Jim Romensko's blog. "Kyle Clauss writes: "My classmates  [Alex Reimer] and I are students at Boston University’s College of Communication. We’ve listened to our fair share of self-righteous, out-of-touch journalist guest speakers, so we created this bingo board. Thought you and your readers might appreciate it.”

On going through it, even as I laughed my guts off, I swore I will never, ever, tell and retell war stories from my past in the newsroom or mourn the state of journalism as it is. What do they call it? Reality check? And yeah, one more thing, whichever part of the world you go to, journalists sound pretty screwed up, eh?

about me

I am a co-founder at Founding Fuel, a media and learning platform and co-author of The Aadhaar Effect: Why The World’s Largest Identity Project Matters.

The Polestar Award and Madhu Valluri Awards back my work up.

I am a columnist at Hindustan Times as well. My bylines have appeared at places such as Shaastra from IIT Madras and peer-reviewed journals like ACM that computing professionals look up to.

In earlier assignments, I worked as Managing Editor to set up the India edition of Forbes and as National Business Editor at Times of India.

Then there are my ‘teach- writing’ gigs which is much fun. Doing that with undergrads at St Xaviers College, Mumbai that is one bucket which offers much joy. And then there’s coaching thought leaders in the C-Suite that’s another bucket and is an altogether different ball game. It’s both challenging and sobering.

If you’ve wrapped your head around the idea that writing is a lifeskill, connect with me.
