Check has supported some of the largest collaborative reporting initiatives on the internet

During the 2016 presidential election in the United States, Check supported Electionland, a national reporting effort covering voting problems during the 2016 election. A coalition of organizations – including ProPublica, Google News Lab, the USA TODAY NETWORK, Univision News, First Draft, WNYC, and the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism in New York – worked together to track the voter experience across the country in real time.
