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, prompting federal action and the introduction of state legislation.
i’m committed to writing fairly and accurately about the subjects i cover, and i’m always eager to be proven wrong. as a former teacher once told me: what doesn’t kill your story makes it stronger.
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 (RIP). my investigations into corporate misconduct at high-flying startups resulted in the resignation of three CEOs (and one COO but who’s counting?) and a startup filing for bankruptcy. my 2021 investigation into the deadly toll of Amazon’s trucking boom led to policy changes at Amazon and received an honorable mention at the SABEW awards.
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.
