Aaron Sankin

Deputy data editor

he/him

I help lead our data team’s efforts to examine criminal justice systems through the lens of data analysis.

My Background

I was previously an investigative reporter for The Markup, where I won the Edward R. Murrow Award for reporting on predictive policing, the Investigative Reporters & Editors Philip Meyer Journalism Award for an investigation into racial and socioeconomic disparities in internet service pricing and the Gerald Loeb Award for an innovative online privacy inspection tool.

I also covered online extremism at the Center for Investigative Reporting and launched the HuffPost’s San Francisco vertical.

If you have data about how the criminal justice system is working (or isn’t), I am all ears. I’m especially interested in law enforcement surveillance technology and algorithmic biases within decision-making systems.
