About Me

I am an adjunct assistant professor at Columbia Journalism School and the former tech desk editor at BuzzFeed News (RIP). Prior to BuzzFeed, I worked at Input, BreakerMag, and Blender. In addition, I have written for the New Yorker, the New York Times, the Washington PostWired, WSJ. Magazine, and Rolling Stone and am the author of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge, a Time magazine book of the year.

I'm also a contributor at two newsletters: Long Lead's Depth Perception and the Brick House's Flaming Hydra.

I'm based in Brooklyn and available for freelance work: markyarm [at] gmail [dot] com.
