Dirección General de Ética extiende el plazo para VI Concurso Nacional de Periodismo de Datos

The Dominican Republic’s government has extended the deadline for its National Data Journalism Contest, urging journalists to actively engage with open data portals. This initiative aims to strengthen democratic oversight by empowering reporters to transform publicly available government information into compelling investigative stories. By leveraging these datasets, journalists can uncover insights that drive accountability and informed public discourse. The competition emphasizes the critical link between transparency and justice, requiring participants to produce multimedia work based on quantitative and qualitative data. The goal is to foster a culture of open governance, where access to information enables citizens to understand the real-world impact of public policy decisions and ethical standards within the administration. This announcement highlights the vital role of open data in facilitating independent journalism. When governments release data proactively, they enable the media to perform essential watchdog functions. This synergy between open data availability and journalistic inquiry is fundamental to building trust in institutions and ensuring that democratic processes are supported by evidence-based reporting and civic education.
