Challenging technology to serve the public good.
Reilly (everyone calls him Reilly) was Managing Editor at The Markup. He left in June 2024.
He has brought an insatiable curiosity, a desire to build, and a genuine love for his colleagues and their mission as journalists wherever he’s gone. That’s included stops at New Scientist, two startups, and MIT Technology Review, which was a two-time National Magazine Award finalist during his time as executive editor.
While at Technology Review, he pioneered the magazine’s newsletter operation, established an award-winning podcasting team, and edited countless print and online features and investigations. Reilly’s editing and reporting work has won a variety of awards, including investigative prizes by the Association of British Science Writers, the Newswomen’s Club of New York, and recognition by the American Bar Association, among others.
