hi, i’m paris martineau

currently — a senior investigative journalist on the special projects team at Consumer Reports, covering food safety and corporate malfeasance. i work with a team of scientists to produce data-driven investigations that call attention to the hidden forces shaping our food system. my recent investigation into lead-contaminated protein powder was read by millions, and prompted the introduction of new consumer safety legislation in California, an investigation by the attorney general of Texas, and multiple class action lawsuits, among other things.


i’m committed to writing fairly and accurately about the subjects i cover. i do not accept gifts from businesses or individuals who might appear in my articles, and i do not pay for information or interviews.


previously — i chronicled the unchecked growth of the tech industry as a reporter at The Information, Wired, and The Outline. my reporting uncovered corporate misconduct at several high-flying startups and prompted policy and personnel changes across the tech industry. as an intern for New York Magazine, i broke the story of QAnon, which i correctly predicted would soon spread far beyond the confines of 4chan. 


always — looking to speak with workers about acts of injustice. do you have a story to tell about corporate accountability, government (mis)regulation, or food safety? 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.
