Carol Davis

Carol Angela Davis, JD, is a journalist, entrepreneur, professor and a pioneer in online media with the distinction of being one of the first online video bloggers in the U.S. (August 2000). Carol’s Los Angeles based enterprise created an online platform supporting the global distribution of television and film content for hundreds of independent content providers, including celebrities.

As a former Writer, Producer and Reporter for Chicago’s WGN- TV News and her proprietary online daily news programs: Its About Finance, The Justice System and Vote Across America, Carol was among the first to generate revenue on the web using video based content. She has interviewed hundreds of CEO’s from the floors of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade and through her reporter platforms at the Nasdaq, AMEX and New York Stock Exchange. Separately, she managed all national and global media for Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos during the second trial of pop star Michael Jackson where he was acquitted of all charges.

Shifting her interest to academia, her current work and research at High Point University involves wrapping pedagogy in civic engagement experiences to create a holistic educational environment for today’s student. Her premise is two fold, first these experiences can offer education experiences that are multidisciplinary in scope and life-changing for the student; second, some opportunities can become future profit centers for colleges and universities. Carol is the creator and Co-Principal Investigator of High Point University’s Democracy USA/American Dream Project, which was funded by a Think BIG! award, the university’s most prestigious grant.

She is married, the mother of 2 adult children and the author of children’s books Itty Bitty Kitty, The Fool from Bonderpool (He Wouldn’t Go to School!) and Teeth Have Feelings Too! So Brush Them!
