About us
We are a new publication illuminating how powerful institutions are using technology in ways that impact people and society. Technology is reshaping the news we get and what we believe; how our elections play out; our jobs and how we get them; how we access goods and services and what we pay for them; and who goes to prison versus who remains free. But there is not much independent analysis of the effects of these changes. That’s the problem The Markup aims to fix. Send up tips: tips@themarkup.org.
