Joshua Braun

I’m an Associate Professor in the Journalism Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I’m also a former graduate fellow of the National Academy of Sciences and an affiliated fellow of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. My work examines sociological questions surrounding online media distribution, as well as the influence of business-to-business enterprises, like ad tech firms, on the health of the media ecosystem. My book on digital distribution of TV news was published in 2015 by Yale University Press and I am currently co-editor of a forthcoming series of books on media distribution from The MIT Press.
