Ebola Deeply News Site

Ebola Deeply is an online web portal and news site designed to provide accurate and timely information about the Ebola health crisis, with an emphasis on providing context and countering misinformation. Launched in October 2014, this digital media project involves a team of freelance journalists and technologists who feature a mix of original articles, op-eds, and content from the Associated Press and other news organisations. A key feature of the site is the Ebola Files section, a collection of text and interactive materials covering basic information, the history of the Ebola virus, scientific perspectives, and stories about survivors. There is also an interactive map of recent cases and death rates, a timeline of events, and videos.
Ebola Deeply is designed to present a focused approach that combines news, live coverage, information, and social participation. "Our goal is to build a better user experience of the story by adding context to content, integrating expertise in science, health, and public policy with a range of voices on the ground. Our team is committed to a collaborative and solutions-driven model of journalism, surfacing new insights and elevating voices with knowledge to share. With time, we hope to add greater clarity, deeper understanding, and more sustained engagement to the global conversation."
The site is a venture of News Deeply, an initiative by former ABC News and Bloomberg foreign correspondent Lara Setrakian. Ebola Deeply is the second such platform, following Syria Deeply, which covers the region's conflict.
