Markey has written for The New York Times, the New York Daily News, New York magazine, The Nation, The Village Voice, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, City Limits, America: The Jesuit Review, the Daily Beast, and The Intercept. Her work is characterized by deep research, a historical gaze, and an ear for poetry in reporting. Markey's reporting has revealed how New York State's method of counting prisoners in the place where they are incarcerated diluted the voting power of NYC districts; won back wages for immigrant workers, shown the devastation subprime lending wrought on a Black neighborhood; explored the effect of real estate speculation in low-income housing; catalogued the toll of violence in Bronx neighborhoods, and told the stories of citizens and activists working to create change always rooted in the long toll of history.
