Problem

Recently, the daughter of one of the GOP’s key gerrymandering strategists released a fileset belonging to her father. The files may contain information around controversial gerrymandering tactics used in redistricting, but in their current form they are almost impossible for journalists to navigate.

Solution

Online web application to navigate and search the Hofeller files dataset. Should be a tool for journalists to identify trends and patterns in the files and easily be able to navigate to related files. The application would provide an interface to search through the files and filter through different types of data.

The project would provide much needed structure to the data set to enable effective navigation and analysis of the files. In doing this it would enable a larger audience to dig into the files and gather their own insights from related and connected files.

Helping low-income and at-risk tenants in Philly keep track of important information related to their tenancy in order to fight against unjust evictions.

This project will help the IDP coordinate immigration-related pardons in partnership with legal service providers and community organizations.

Problem

There is comprehensive doctor discipline data available across 50 different state medical board sites. However, it is not easy to look at standardized data across the different state websites. The public has no way to know if their in-good-standing physician faced disciplinary action in a different state. Prior reporting has shown that many doctors move from state to state after receiving a disciplinary action as a way to cover their tracks.

Solution

ProPublica wanted to create an app with standardized, comprehensive data about their doctors across the states.

We used python package selenium for scraping and did a few states. We also incorporated multithreading which enabled multiple states to be scraped simultaneously. States had disciplinary files (sometimes hundreds which is why the multithreading was important) associated with doctors as well, so also incorporated aws to store these

Helping foster youth find resources in the local Philadelphia area.

In partnership with the The Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

Our goal is to create a kind of "internet weather app," a component of our larger Internet Monitor project that will allow users of mobile devices to check the status of the internet access, censorship, cybersecurity climates around the world, with both global and individual country views. We think this will be hugely valuable in spreading awareness of internet freedom and access issues, as well as providing convenient access to timely, high-quality data to journalists, researchers, and advocates. The app will provide, simple, striking data-rich visualizations, while being as easy to understand and use as an actual weather app. It will grab all the data it needs from our existing internet monitor api server.
