We Like: Didde Elnif
As much as Facebook has challenged our notions of privacy, it has also taught us to be positive towards others and publicly endorse what they do. It’s not terribly innovative (I believe more than 2000 years ago another Book taught us to ‘like thy neighbour’) but one thumb in the air is a beautiful and timeless gesture that deserves repeating.
So we’ve decided to LIKE people more in this blog! Not just by way of hand signals, but with the aid of words, pictures, video and all kinds of media types we can fit into this space.
We can’t think of a better way to kick-start this public liking, than by announcing our new project manager at New Media Days, Didde Elnif. She hasn’t even settled behind the desk yet and we like her already!
Didde is 29yo and experienced journalist by trade, but certainly not one for resting on the vocational laurels. Gaining new knowledge is an absolute must and new media insight is a particular passion of hers – as is photography, genuine networking and giving a damn about the state of things. Didde is fireworks about to go off in our offices and shower you with inspiration. We like! And that’s why she’s our new head of programming come June 1st.
Enough corporate ranting, let’s pass the QWERTY to Didde:
How did you end up in media?
It all began in a tent outside a store selling scout gear. I was playing the part of myself – a young student looking for somewhere to live – in the Danish comedy show ‘Gintberg Show Off’. Somehow that got me hired as runner in DR… and one thing led to another – suddenly I found myself studying at Danish School of Journalism.
What do you love about your (new) job?
That I can do exactly what I’m most interested in: Look for the most visionary movements in modern media, help shake up the gloomy part of the industry and hopefully inspire some innovative development. And of course working together with a fantastic team of likeminded that live and breathe new media.
Life outside of work?
Outside work? What do you mean…?
Okay – though I sometimes forget it, there is in fact a life outside work. And that’s when it becomes obvious, that I’m a music addict, foodie by heart and always in dialogue both offline and online about development of the media business, journalism, photography, technology, gadgets… I’m a bit of a geek – I know.
