Transparency Toolkit: From Document Dumps to Actionable Info

Transparency Toolkit: From Document Dumps to Actionable Info


Transparency Toolkit helps investigative journalists rapidly conduct complex analyses of public interest info without any coding knowledge. It does this by providing a web app where journalists can chain together tools to collect, combine, visualize, and analyze documents. For example, Transparency Toolkit could be used to generate a network graph showing which companies help with which NSA surveillance programs. Or it could be used to make a timeline indicating when actions in congress might be influenced by legislator fundraising.
