About
FOLD (fold.cm) is an open publishing platform with a unique structure that lets writers link media cards to the text of their stories. Some readers require greater context to understand complex stories. Using FOLD, authors can search for and add "context cards" to their stories. Context cards can contain videos, maps, tweets, music, interactive visualizations, and more. FOLD also allows authors to link stories together by remixing context cards created by other writers.
