The challenge: delivering costly investigative reporting
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]In the virtual visit next week, on, we will explore how media organizations can build database products to both instrumentalise their knowledge and empower other journalistsin access, processing and use of complex information.
Our host,is an independent media organization committed to fostering collaborative cross-border investigative journalism and leveraging technological innovation to serve journalism in Latin America.
Founded in 2019, El Clip emerged from a vision shared by journalists Giannina Segnini (Costa Rica), Marina Walker-Guevara (Argentina), and María Teresa Ronderos (Colombia) to create a Latin American center for investigations that puts transparency and community at the forefront of its work.
From the start, El Clip tackled complex transnational projects, such as, which brought together 16 media outlets across 13 countries to uncover the growing influence of religious fundamentalism in the region; and, which delved into years of reporting by Mexican journalists on the murder of investigative reporter Miroslava Breach.
Since then, El Clip has expanded its team and built partnerships with journalists spanning the United States, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. It has also collaborated with international organizations like Bellingcat and is a member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN).[/fusion_text][fusion_text]
The solution: product by & for investigators
[/fusion_text][fusion_text]Equipped with the first-hand experience of conducting investigations in the region, the El Clip team realised the unique edgethey had when it came to transforming and shaping media’s access to data and public information.
At the time, accessing official government data for investigative journalism was often a challenge due to the poor quality of digitised documents. This forced media organisations to develop their own methods for obtaining and extracting valuable information to support their investigations, which was time-consuming, costly and lacked a unified methodology.
El Clip’s productcame in to solve the challenge by enabling journalists to access every kind of public document, contract, and dataset in Latin America. Recognised as one of GIJN’s, NINA uses AI to process unstructured data and allows journalists to upload, index, search, and share their own datasets — all without the need for special technical skills or coding.[/fusion_text][/one_full][two_third last=”no” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][fusion_text]💡The tool has been used in investigations of, and.[/fusion_text][/two_third][one_third last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” hover_type=”none” link=”” border_position=”all” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” class=”” id=””][imageframe lightbox=”no” lightbox_image=”” style_type=”none” hover_type=”none” bordercolor=”” bordersize=”0px” borderradius=”0″ stylecolor=”” align=”none” link=”https://nina.elclip.org/login” linktarget=”_blank” animation_type=”0″ animation_direction=”down” animation_speed=”0.1″ animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”no” class=”” id=””]
