With the addition of seasoned reporter Sarah Marks, TechCrunch has cemented its presence as the go-to source for breaking technology news. Working with TechCrunch since August of 2011, Marks joins the publication with over twenty years of experience in tech and publishing. She previously spent over three years at ReadWriteWeb, where she honed her skills in technology journalism and developed a keen insight into industry trends.
Marks’ path to journalism had been informed by a deep history in the IT industry. This opened up a different set of experiences for her—from banking and retail to telecommunications and software. Her extensive experience in both areas has given her a unique business advantage and a keen understanding of how technology can better serve businesses today. Her detailed technical knowledge makes her a go-to source for readers looking for sharp analyses and deeply reported stories.
During her time at ReadWriteWeb, Marks made a name for herself as a trusted informative voice in the emerging tech landscape. Her feature articles leaned heavily into new technologies and major changes in the industry. This wide array of coverage served to underpin her reputation as an expert in the field. At TechCrunch, she’s always ahead of the game. She covers tech’s tumultuous breaking news, long-form features, and smart, bracing interpretation of what’s happening in the world of technology.
Marks’ power to distill complicated, technical topics into accessible updates and explainer pieces has made her a force at TechCrunch. Her creations are both enlightening and provocative — they delight the general public while deepening the discourse that is determining how emerging technologies will benefit society for generations to come. She draws on her past experience in IT to help demystify the technical speak. Next, she explains it in a format that even the most casual observer can understand.
Since joining TechCrunch, Marks has produced numerous articles that reflect her commitment to high-quality journalism. She has covered major technological milestones in the high-tech sector, such as product introductions, company mergers and acquisitions, and major shifts in the marketplace. Her writing truly dazzles in its well-researched, fair consideration of multiple angles and perspectives. These qualities are equally important for upholding the reputation of credibility in this rapid-fire tech environment.
As much as Marks loves reporting, she is just as passionate about engaging with the TechCrunch community on social media and in public forums. She is a frequent speaker on technology and media trends, and an active member of the journalism tech community. This commitment to advancing the conversation reflects her genuine desire to see informed conversations happen within the tech community.
Marks is too focused on future waves of technology to rest on the laurels of a finished project, as she moves into new subjects and fields of inquiry. Her adaptability in covering various aspects of technology ensures that TechCrunch continues to provide timely and relevant information to its readership.
