    A journalistic lesson for an algorithmic age: Let the scientific method be your guide
    “One of the best parts about using the scientific method as a guide is that it moves us beyond the endless debates about whether journalism is ‘fair’ or ‘objective.’ Rather than focus on fairness, it’s better to focus on what you know and what you don’t know.”
    Julia Angwin, The MarkupFebruary 2, 2023

    “A bigger focus on the human impact of technology”: Sisi Wei is The Markup’s new editor-in-chief

    “Big tech is watching you. Who’s watching big tech?” The Markup is finally ready for liftoff
    After a false start, the unconventional team of algorithm investigators is ready to dive deep. “I’ve heard that we are tying our hands behind our backs, but there must be a way to engage an audience without subjecting readers to a surveillance ecosystem.”

    The Markup is back, with Julia Angwin reinstated as editor-in-chief, a new leadership team, and the same reporters

    Support for Julia Angwin grows as funders investigate the “coup” at The Markup
    After her ouster as editor-in-chief, multiple funders say they are taking steps to “reassess” their support.
