News Deeply

News Deeply is an online journalism and technology company, based in New York City, specializing in single-issue news websites and building online databases of stakeholders. Its flagship site, Syria Deeply, was founded by Lara Setrakian and Azeo Fables in 2012 to cover the Syrian Civil War. On May 15, 2018, News Deeply merged Syria Deeply into the broader Peacebuilding Deeply. Since 2012, the company built and operated seven other sites with similar single-issue formats: Malnutrition Deeply, Oceans Deeply, Refugees Deeply, Water Deeply, Women's Advancement Deeply, Arctic Deeply and Ebola Deeply.

History

News Deeply started with Syria Deeply, a project stemming from the shortcomings founder Lara Setrakian perceived in news coverage of the Syrian Civil War. She had been reporting on the region for major news outlets ABC News and Bloomberg News but wanted a centralized platform that engaged in journalism only on that subject, and one which emphasized design and user experience. However, in September, 2018 Fast Company reported that News Deeply was closing multiple sites, including Oceans Deeply, Malnutrition Deeply, and Peacebuilding Deeply. Since then, News Deeply site has "paused publication" on all of its news sites. ==Syria Deeply==

Syria Deeply

Syria Deeply was the first News Deeply site. Journalist Lara Setrakian had been covering the Syrian conflict for major news organizations and set out to create the site as a more consistent and centralized source of news on the subject. Setrakian had grown frustrated with the way a news consumer had to try to bring together small pieces of information from multiple sources, and had the idea for a more focused resource. Mashable called it "one of the go-to resources for information and context on the growing conflict". ==Arctic Deeply==

Arctic Deeply

Arctic Deeply was an English-language web portal for news about climate change launched in 2015. It was intended to be the second News Deeply site, following the success of Syria Deeply, but was preempted by Ebola Deeply after the Ebola outbreak, and Water Deeply, due to the 2012–2013 North American drought. It included a mix of original news, static content, and aggregated stories. For distribution, it formed partnerships with Huffington Post and the Associated Press. ==Refugees Deeply==
