Mikel Ellcessor has spent the last twenty-five years developing new, diverse audiences for non-commercial media and not-for-profit arts organizations. Most recently, Mr. Ellcessor served as general manager of WDET, Detroit, during which time the organization established itself at the front of public radio's short list of major market, mainstream, multi-ethnic public radio stations. While at WDET, he produced The Pleasure of Sound, a short film on the nature and practice of creativity featuring Jad Abumrad (Radiolab) and Matther Dear (Ghostly International.)\r\n \r\nMr. Ellcessor led the 2007 launch of RadioMilwaukee, a hyperlocal music\/community engagement hybrid that has already established itself as a vibrant entity in Milwaukee's music, social activism and regional development communities. From 1999-2006, Mr. Ellcessor was a senior content director at WNYC, New York Public Radio, and the co-creator, with Jad Abumrad, of Radiolab.","link":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/author\/mellcessor\/","slug":"mellcessor","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3653d61cb2039c07ac1c6a31ee17767ca65610e0dbbc1dffa34f35408b2ba4c1?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3653d61cb2039c07ac1c6a31ee17767ca65610e0dbbc1dffa34f35408b2ba4c1?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3653d61cb2039c07ac1c6a31ee17767ca65610e0dbbc1dffa34f35408b2ba4c1?s=96&d=mm&r=g","128":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/3653d61cb2039c07ac1c6a31ee17767ca65610e0dbbc1dffa34f35408b2ba4c1?s=128&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/fieldnotes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
