In October 2009, Gardner was named by ''[[The Huffington Post]]'' as one of ten "media game changers of the year" for the impact on new media of her work for Wikimedia.<ref name="huffpost">From the series of slides for the 10 [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/29/huffpost-game-changers-wh_n_337129.html?slidenumber=IYkFqRf71RU%3D#slide_image Game Changers: Who Is The Ultimate Game Changer In Media? – Sue Gardner].

One of the issues that Gardner addressed while she was a Wikimedia Foundation executive director was [[gender bias on Wikipedia]]. She listed nine reasons why women don't edit Wikipedia, culled from comments by female [[Wikipedia community|Wikipedia editors]]:<ref name=Gardner110219>{{cite web |last=Gardner |first=Sue |date=19 February 2011 |title=Nine Reasons Why Women Don't Edit Wikipedia, In Their Own Words |url=http://suegardner.org/2011/02/19/nine-reasons-why-women-dont-edit-wikipedia-in-their-own-words/ |type=blog |website=suegardner.org

===The Markup===
Line 60:
In September 2018, Gardner co-founded The Markup with [[Julia Angwin]] and [[Jeff Larson (data journalist)|Jeff Larson]] as a continuation of their work at ''[[ProPublica]]''. With $20 million of initial funding from [[Craig Newmark]], the site would work to cover news about "Big Tech" and its impact on the public.<ref name=Markup/><ref name="NiemanLab">{{cite web |url=http://www.niemanlab.org/2018/09/watch-out-algorithms-julia-angwin-and-jeff-larson-unveil-the-markup-their-plan-for-investigating-techs-societal-impacts/ |title=Watch out, algorithms: Julia Angwin and Jeff Larson unveil The Markup, their plan for investigating tech’s societal impacts |quote="Journalists in every field need to have more skills to investigate those types of decision-making that are embedded in technology." |first=Christine |last=Schmidt |date=September 24, 2018 |access-date=September 24, 2018 |work=Nieman Journalism Lab (NiemanLab) [[Nieman Foundation for Journalism]] [[Harvard University]] |location=Cambridge, Mass}}</ref><ref name="nytimes_Bolles_2018">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/23/business/media/the-markup-craig-newmark.html |title=News Site to Investigate Big Tech, Helped by Craigslist Founder |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |date=September 23, 2018 |access-date=September 23, 2018 |first=Nellie |last=Bowles}}</ref> Initially, Gardner was set to serve as executive director, Angwin as editor-in-chief, and Larson as managing editor, with a launch date of early 2019.

Five of seven journalists on the staff resigned. In a letter to Newmark, Angwin said Gardner wanted to turn The Markup into a “cause” rather than a “publication.” Angwin also said Gardner ranked reporters in job interviews according to how negative they viewed tech companies and suggested using headlines like "Facebook is a dumpster fire." Gardner responded that The Markup's mission had not changed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/23/business/media/julia-angwin-markup.html?partner=IFTTT|title=Julia Angwin Is Out as Editor of New Tech Watchdog Site The Markup
