Approach
We use human-centered design methods to engage local stakeholders, encourage coalition building, and generate creative and impactful projects.
We work with newsrooms, independent journalists, civil society organizations, universities and technologists to design, refine and test collaborative approaches to some of journalism’s most pressing challenges.
Through our human centered design process, we help news organizations scale their impact, bring new skills to their journalists, create new paths for reader engagement, and, ultimately, build new audiences for their work.
Process

Newsrooms
To date, Pop-Up Newsroom has run six Pop-Up Newsroom initiatives, ranging from one-hour design sprints to multi-month award winning collaborations.
All Pop-Up Newsrooms share a human-centered co-design process with stakeholders, and place collaboration at the heart of our work. Pop-Up Newsrooms we’ve initiated include:
Experience
In numbers
Founded in 2017 by Meedan and Dig Deeper Media, Pop-Up Newsroom brings together Meedan’s open source technologies for social media verification with ten years of election and event monitoring workflow expertise from Dig Deeper Media.
Fergus Bell has innovated collaborative approaches to social media verification during elections since 2008 and Meedan’s Check was first deployed for the 2012 Egyptian election.
Since then we have helped define the fields of social newsgathering and verification, developing workflows and technologies that have been deployed to cover events and elections around the world, from the award winning Electionland (US) to Verificado (Mexico).
Partners
Pop-Up Newsroom works with platforms, publishers, broadcasters, universities and technology companies.
