Ryan Schreiber founded the online music magazine, Pitchfork, serving alternately as its Editor-in-Chief and CEO from 1996 to 2019. Under his leadership, Pitchfork became the most trusted voice in music journalism, setting a gold standard for the form, and launching the careers of innumerable artists and writers. He has twice been featured in TIME Magazine's annual TIME 100 poll of the world's most influential people and lives in Brooklyn, NY.

His memoir, Weird Era: How Pitchfork Changed Music Forever, is coming soon from Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
