Biography
Boston-born and bred. UMass Amherst Class of 2019. Former Poynter-Koch journalism fellow. Since June 2019, I've led the AllSides news team's daily news curation, which aggregates over 60 news stories daily from any of the hundreds of sources, outlets and writers rated as part of our media bias ratings. Our daily news analysis focuses on tracking media bias and highlighting a diverse range of viewpoints and perspectives — both the mainstream and the underrepresented. In addition to my news duties, I lead analysis and strategy around traffic growth and audience engagement, both on the website and social media. I also head up original research projects and data analyses pertaining to media bias and the news industry.
I've covered many things, but currently my focuses are media bias polarization, media literacy and the media industry, culture politics
