Partners in the coalition are working to minimize election interference and improve information ecosystems by communicating directly with their respective audiences through closed messaging apps and email. Readers can send in tips and questions to help fuel reporting and to ensure voters get the information they need.

Given our global reach and multilingual approach at Meedan, we’re working with partners from around the world alongside U.S.-based media organizations. The composition of this cohort has a special emphasis on newsrooms situated in immigrant communities and publishing in languages other than English.

Meedan’s flagship product, Check, allows the group to combine forces so that partners can see submissions and tips that readers are sending to coalition members across the country and around the world. And in concert with our colleagues at the International Center for Journalists, Meedan is hosting regular Election Exchange calls where partners can share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and exchange insights.

Part of Meedan’s global 2024 election integrity initiative

Over the course of the year, Meedan has helped facilitate coalitions working on several high-stakes general elections throughout the globe, including in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Pakistan.

Coordinated disinformation, harassment targeting minority groups, and the proliferation of misinformation in languages other than English are growing concerns for our network of partners in both the U.S. and around the world. We know that social media platforms are divesting from the fact-checking and election integrity work that once made a real difference in the trustworthiness of information voters found on the social web.

Check enables partners to identify emerging misinformation narratives and provides valuable insights into what audiences, particularly voters, are most eager to know.

Meedan has supported many large-scale election monitoring projects around the world over the past decade. We currently support more than 75 global partners working in 27 languages to communicate with and engage audiences during crises and other events.
