The Guardian has hired Dara Kerr to cover technology in the United States.
She has been a tech reporter at National Public Radio.
Kerr previously worked at The Markup, where she covered labor at tech companies. She investigated the risks that Uber and Lyft drivers take — and the lack of protection the tech companies provide them. She also reported on big tech lobbying and the spread of anti-vaccine misinformation on Facebook.
Before The Markup, Kerr reported for CNET News. Her daily coverage ranged from Airbnb’s regulatory battles to self-driving cars to the proliferation of lab-grown meat. While at CNET, Kerr traveled the length of the Texas-Mexico border to report on how surveillance technology is used throughout the region.
She also went to Brazil to write about how one Amazonian tribe is using technology to fight deforestation.
