I am an early career media sociologist with a PhD from Cambridge University. Broadly, my work uncovers and analyses understudied media ecosystems, particularly those with insightful relations to the ‘traditional press’ and concepts of dis/misinformation. I pay special attention to sociotechnical change, reproduction of discourse, and power relations within these systems. My scholarly sites of inquiry include:

• Conservative talk radio stations in rural Utah (and ethnographic work in conservative spaces);
• The new global network of fact checkers funded by social media platform content moderation contracts;
• Search engine manipulation of journalists and activists around a controversial 2010s privacy regulation.

Informed by cultural studies, media sociology, and conjunctural analysis, I use a blend of ethnographic, textual, and network mapping methods. My work also engages in reflexive critique of digital media research methods.

I am currently a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Copenhagen in the Communications Department; I also maintain affiliations at the Berkman Klein Center (Harvard) and the Center for Governance and Human Rights (Cambridge).
