The internet, digital platforms, and media ventures are fundamentally changing right now in ways that will change our ability to be informed and connected in the future.

I research how people actually get and use information β€” in places under censorship, in underserved communities, in a media landscape being reshaped by AI. This newsletter is where I work through what I'm learning, and where I'm wrong.

Why re:filtered? I'm trying to break down my own assumptions about how media works. Each issue is an attempt to think more clearly, not less.
