Creating a New Account on Check

In order to be able to work with projects and add links for investigation, you should first set up a new account and create a team.

Now in public beta, Check is available for any new users to try out:

• Visit https://checkmedia.org/
• Set up a new account. You can:
• Authorize your account with an existing social media platform (currently that’s Facebook, Twitter or Slack)
• Set up a new account with your email address

• Create a team
• Type in a Team Name. If you’re just testing things out, we encourage you to use the word “Test” in your team’s name
• Type in a Team URL.
• When you’re done, you now have your own account and a team!

You can now share the team link with your colleagues so that they can request to join (by adding /join at to the link) and become a part of it. After clicking “Request to Join”, an email will be sent to the team owner(s) to let them know about the request.

As a team owner, you will just need to confirm the request by visiting your member management page. Add /members to your link, e.g., https://checkmedia.org/meedan-marcomm/members.
