About John J. Mudgett
Media strategist with a proven track record in broadcast television booking and book publicity, connecting compelling stories with the right audiences.Currently serving as Senior Publicist at Baker Publishing Group, I orchestrate comprehensive media campaigns that secure coverage across broadcast, print, podcast, and digital platforms. My work spans health and wellness, spirituality, lifestyle, parenting, cooking, and business verticals, leveraging strategic relationships and data-driven insights to maximize author visibility.Previously, I honed my booking expertise at ABC News, where I served as a booker and assistant to the network’s chief medical correspondent. In this role, I secured exclusive bookings for GMA3 and ABC News Live, managed high-stakes live broadcast logistics including during breaking news, and coordinated complex schedules for multiple hosts and correspondents. My work contributed to a 2024 GLAAD nomination for Outstanding TV Journalism Segment.What drives me: the intersection of compelling narratives and strategic media placement. Whether I’m pre-interviewing a potential guest for live television or crafting a pitch for a national outlet, I’m energized by the challenge of matching the right story with the right platform at the right moment.My approach combines meticulous research, relationship-building across diverse media landscapes, and the ability to maintain operational excellence under pressure—skills that translate seamlessly between the urgency of live television and the strategic planning of publicity campaigns.I’m always open to a conversation. m••••••••@gmail.com Master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism and Media Production from Sacred Heart University
