hi, i’m paris martineau



currently — i’m an experienced investigative reporter and feature writer with a proven track record of producing high-impact accountability journalism. for the last five years, i’ve honed these skills as a reporter at The Information, where i covered power and influence in the tech industry.


i pride myself on publishing stories that get results. my investigations into corporate misconduct at high-flying startups have resulted in the resignation of three CEOs (and one COO!) and a startup filing for bankruptcy, among other things. my investigation into Amazon’s trucking boom led to policy changes at Amazon and received an honorable mention at the SABEW awards. 

i have a knack for worming my way inside seemingly impenetrable companies to develop high-quality sources and using enterprise reporting to tell compelling character-driven narratives. i’m also excellent at spotting fascinating stories that others have missed.
personally speaking, i am at my happiest when digging through piles of documents or sifting through reams of data in search of story threads. (see: my somewhat infamous proclivity for red-string-style evidence boards.)


previously — i was a staff writer at 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 executive misconduct? 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.
