Dataharvest 2015

Want to track who writes what about corruption? See the new tool developed by Transparency International. Collaboration and the use of technology are undeniably leading a revival in investigative journalism; however other external trends are also playing their part. In a world where people, money, and businesses can quickly and freely move across borders it means that crime and corruption are also going global. Investigating international corruption cases, following illicit flows of money across borders or just swathing through huge amounts of data files takes cooperation, technological expertise and many other skill sets. The European Corruption Observatory will not only provide a database of corruption stories but will provide a platform for exchange and networking among journalists, hackers, civil society, corruption experts and policy makers. This will help encourage further collaboration and assist users in finding key partners around the EU to further their investigations into corruption.

This seminar is organised by Transparency International and Journalismfund.eu, and financed by the European Commission.
