Growing the New Technopolis

Hello, I’m Mike Nutt.

I recently had the unexpected pleasure of meeting Bob and Doug. Through the Carolina Challenge program, we discovered a mutual interest in developing a business plan for Digital Media Arts Cooperatives. They have graciously invited me to help with this blog, and I’m excited about teaming up with them. My primary interest is in using digital storytelling to advance the goals they have already articulated here, so hopefully I can bring some new ideas to the table.

About me: I’ve been a part of the UNC Department of Communication Studies for the last seven years, first as an undergraduate and since 2005 as the Media Technician for the Department’s Media Production program. I am also currently enrolled in the UNC School of Social Work’s Nonprofit Management Certificate Program. My media-making tendencies stretch back to high school, including stints as a writer, audio artist, musician, documentarian, reporter, radio DJ, and sound engineer. On Wikumentary is a blog I use to ponder what happens when documentaries and wiki structures make babies, i.e. wikumentaries.

Thanks for having me guys!
Mike
