Code for Africa, ANCIR Building tools for investigative reporters
Agenda Digital Research Tools Why does it matter? Some examples
What is still missing?
A word on computer literacy
What tools? Investigate people and companies Search for data on
specific topics Sift through sets of documents Understand data in tables
Ukraine in February A team of investigative reporters discover Victor
Yanukovych’s personal documents (in his lake)
How can we… … digitise the documents? … share and
search? … let readers tag documents? … find mentions of people, companies, dates, money? … see how companies and people relate?

large sets of documents http://documentcloud.org | http://overviewproject.org http://sourceafrica.net

–An investigative reporter “We're working with 40 GB of XXX
and would like to search within the documents for certain keywords (like XXX) so we can identify XXX. Ideally we should be able to tag the docs..”
