FY Media
In March 2020, every day brought a new coronavirus claim. A Swedish investigative reporter started checking them, in her own publication, For You Media. We designed and built the site in a few weeks, so the articles could go out while the questions were still fresh. In 2021 we rebuilt it on Statamic.

The brief
In spring 2020 a reporter needed a publication online within weeks, to fact-check coronavirus claims and show readers the sources.
We designed and built it in a few weeks, and rebuilt it on Statamic in 2021.
What we built
Fact-checks
Long articles with big editorial serif type, strong photos and illustrations, pull quotes and screenshots of the documents behind each claim.
Check the sources
The fact-checks end in a “Kolla källorna själv” box, so readers can open the sources themselves.
The short version
A summary box at the top of the longer reviews, with links that jump to each question.
Svenskar i världen
A series of Swedes reporting from Italy, the USA, Brazil and the Philippines, with its own index page.
Tips and support
A “Vad vill du att jag ska granska?” box for readers’ tips, and a Swish section to fund the work.
In their words
“Service-minded and fast. Understands the client’s needs and can explain things so that even those of us who aren’t programmers understand. Highly recommended.”
