Hi. I’m John Proffitt. Gravity Medium was my personal / professional blogging site from 2008-2010.
At the time I was working in the public media world and shared content focused on the transformative nature of digital media on the industry and how the industry was — or wasn’t — dealing with it. Good times.
But in 2010 I left the industry for good. Or at least left a public media industry that was deeply incompatible with my interests in digital and social media, and was on the verge of tearing itself apart over the high costs and low returns of the public TV world and the tension between national and local public radio priorities, especially around digital service.
Originally the blog was self-hosted, but I moved it to WordPress.com for archival purposes in mid-2011. Not everything from the old days will have come over cleanly, but most of it is here. If you find something is missing and want to see it, just contact me and I’ll find the media and re-post.
Best wishes to the many folks I met working in the trenches in public media nationwide. May your corner-office bosses retire early to make the world a better place.
