Kick Out the Ladder

Has public media yet kicked out the ladder? Doesn’t seem like it. But as of this week, I’ve kicked out my own ladder. It’s time to fly.
Thanks to @MitchKitter for the great link.
For the last 15 years I've done what comes naturally to anyone with degrees in English, earth science and education: I taught high school for a year then worked as an IT pro in healthcare, banking, consulting and government contracting (of course!). But I also spent nearly 5 years in Alaska's largest public media company, taking the traditional radio / TV / statewide news operation online and realizing traffic gains of more than 700% in just 18 months. Now I'm the Director of Digital Engagement for KETC / The Nine Network in St. Louis, focused on real and virtual community building around issues of public importance. Learn More
