News You Can Use:!Creating News Tools + Services That Give Audiences Actionable Information
![Page 2: Africa Media Initiative's Justin Arenstein on Data Journalism at IPI, Indigo Trust and AMI Press Breakfast in Cape Town](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022052507/55908deb1a28ab736d8b4638/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Citizen focused: !We build mass mobilisation tools, to give ordinary citizens “news they can use” with personalised + localised information, along with strong feedback loops to improve audience engagement.

Demand driven: !News needs to be more than just rhetoric. It needs to speak to the real-world challenges facing citizens. And, it needs to be underpinned by a economic imperatives.

Outcomes based: !We aim for 'outcomes' not just 'outputs'. Our metric for success is meaningful impact, that creates lasting change. We also aim for scalability and/or replication in all our initiatives.

Pipeline strategy: !To build a self-sustaining ecosystem, you need catalytic mechanisms that support the germination and growth of open data champions. !Our 'pipeline' strategy uses a modular approach to provide incremental access to resources, skills, support systems, and various acceleration mechanisms.

News Tools:!These need to be action-orientated to be meaningful. They should help citizens decipher & navigate the complex forces shaping their worlds. They should support evidence-based public discourse & decision-making .

http://GotToVote.co.ke
GotToVote:!A data-driven application that helped citizens find their election registration centers, and then helped track polling results, plus allowed them to send 'peace messages' to fellow voters.

Liberating Data: !By digitizing documents and knowledge within media, academia, and civil society, we're turning 'deadwood' archives into new digital 'structured data' resources, with open APIs to allow for 3rd party re-use.
! sourceAFRICA + connectedAFRICA - turning parliamentary, newsroom & university archives into machine readable data

Building the Backbone:!Much like the railways powered industrialisation, Africa needs data infrastructure, including data and code repositories, and an AfricanCommons resource hub. We've adopted a modular, community-centric approach.

! openAFRICA.net - the continent's largest volunteer-run open data respository

New Business:!Most African media don’t believe that granular data exists - and even if it does, they believe it is too complex for newsrooms or citizens to use meaningfully.!Proof-of-Concept prototypes that demonstrate both accessibility and ease-of-use help build diversified or new revenue streams.
