FOLD
A publishing platform that aims to contextualize stories that mainstream media quickly forgets
FOLD is a publishing platform that helps writers easily create interactive, exploratory experiences for their readers. The aim: To contextualize stories that mainstream media quickly forgets. Whereas most news sites use links to provide background on who is doing what where and why, FOLD—launched as an open-source codebase—incorporates background information directly into the articles, including definitions, maps, and other assets.
