PublicMediaCamp thoughts and project coming
October 19, 2009 by John Proffitt · Leave a Comment
I’m currently in Washington, DC, about to board a flight home to Anchorage. I’m still thinking about the weekend’s activities at PublicMediaCamp. I have session notes to post to the wiki, I need to edit up and post the video I shot and I need to get rolling on the project I agreed to start. Sheesh!
But for now I have 14 hours of flying, a short night, and then back to my day job. In the mean time, thanks to @corbett3000, @acarvin, @jdcoffman and everyone else that supported and attended the event.
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
