hi, i’m paris martineau

currently — a feature writer and investigative reporter on staff at The Information. i write about online child safety issues and the ways that tech companies and their products are reshaping the lives of young people. i have a knack for producing accountability journalism and penning features about the people and tech companies influencing modern childhood. 

over my last five years at The Information, i have also chronicled the deadly toll of Amazon's trucking boom and uncovered executive misconduct at startups big and small. i pride myself on publishing stories that get results.

i have experience working with whistleblowers and victims of sexual harassment or workplace discrimination in an ethical and considerate manner that prioritizes the mental wellbeing and autonomy of my sources. i have worked with many people who have received confidential settlement payments or were made to sign overly-broad NDAs in order to resolve claims of corporate wrongdoing. i’ve had the pleasure of helping many brave ex-employees hold powerful people to account by telling their story on the record; i’ve also worked with many current and former tech workers who wished to stay anonymous to bring important matters to light.

previously — a staff writer for Wired magazine’s business section, where i reported on tech platforms, online influence, and the homesharing industry. before that, i was a staff writer for The Outline, where i covered misinformation and the future. i also used to write about internet culture for New York Magazine’s (now-defunct) tech blog, Select All. during my time at Select All, i broke the story of QAnon (sorry!).

always — looking to speak with tech workers about what’s going on at their company. do you have a story to tell about corporate accountability or online child safety issues? reach out. i’m more than happy to explain how talking to a reporter on-background (i.e. anonymously) works and find a way for us to connect securely in a way that makes you feel comfortable.
