Meedan at #IJF17: Tools to Power Collaborative Journalism
This week, Meedan is pleased to be participating in the International Journalism Festival which is taking place April 5–9, in Perugia, Italy. The Festival features more than 250 sessions involving 600 speakers from all over the world: five full days of high-octane immersion in journalism.
We are extremely excited to meet the inspiring IJF community and share our recent experiences in collaborative verification and fact-checking projects and social media translation at #IJF17.
Here are some of the panels and workshops we’re participating in, where you can find Meedan CEO Ed Bice, and Director of Product An Xiao Mina. Come say ciao and find out more about Check, our collaborative verification platform, and Bridge, our social media translation toolkit!
