Ryan Stoldt

I am a media studies scholar studying media production and distribution. I’m particularly interested in how algorithms shape people’s experiences online and how media producers think about algorithms in their creative decision-making.

I work as an associate professor and the director of graduate studies at the Drake University School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Outside of my work, I write music under the moniker Twin Cities and have played in and toured with numerous bands.

I love chatting with people, so please reach out if you have questions about my work or anything else!
