The Markup

The Markup challenges technology to serve the public good.

The Markup is a nonprofit newsroom that challenges technology to serve the public good. Our journalism is actionable and drives real-world impact.

In 2024, The Markup became a part of CalMatters, a nonpartisan and nonprofit news organization that explains California policies and politics and makes its government more transparent and accountable. This trailblazing combination of a national and a state newsroom creates an incredible opportunity to ground our work, have continuous impact, and allow our journalism to build real, long standing relationships with communities.
