The Australian Associated Press (AAP) plays a critical role in the media landscape as the country’s most trusted and independent source of factual reporting. So when it came time to modernise their digital presence, accuracy, reliability, and security weren’t just nice-to-haves — they were non-negotiable.
UnDigital partnered with AAP to deliver a high-performance, enterprise-grade website built on Silverstripe. The new platform consolidates content feeds from across AAP’s editorial and fact-checking teams, and acts as the single source of truth for public-facing news and analysis.
Working with multiple internal stakeholders, we streamlined complex workflows and designed a digital experience that reflects AAP’s authority and clarity. The result is a future-proof platform that empowers AAP to maintain editorial integrity while operating at speed and scale.
A standout feature of the platform is the Fact Check hub — an essential public resource that tracks misinformation in real time. Updated several times daily, this section publishes investigative reports that verify or debunk viral claims, giving readers fast access to trustworthy information in a world of noisy news cycles.
