Journalists and tech companies are teaming up to fight fake news about the Mexican election

In order to create a methodology to combat fake news, Pop-Up Newsroom — a temporary, virtual newsroom project of the California State University-Northridge Journalism Department — held a workshop in Mexico City last week where representatives from participating media outlets and technology companies met to discuss Verificado 2018.
