Larson studies media and public discourse, seeking ways to advance democratic representation of voices contributing to the cultural conversation. She does this by analyzing the impact of digital technologies and business models on media businesses and cultural and creative labor. She is interested in how production logics and media economics favor particular workers or types of content, and how these forces shape the public's understanding of the world. Recently, she has examined the book industry in the digital era.
