A former correspondent with The Associated Press and Bloomberg News, Matt’s writing has been featured in Esquire, Politico, The Verge, and a slew of other media outlets. The New York Times called his book, “Thin Blue Lie: The Failure of High-Tech Policing” an “incisive, muckraking expose of the police industrial complex,” and his six-part, true crime podcast, “Guru: The Dark Side of Enlightenment” hit #1 on Apple Podcast charts in 2020.
Several of his investigative reports have led to new trials in murder cases, and his other work has preempted federal investigations, caused CEO resignations, and inspired legislative change.
