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

The government of the Dominican Republic has extended the deadline for its National Data Journalism Contest, encouraging journalists to actively engage with open data portals. This initiative seeks 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 promote accountability and informed public discourse. The competition underscores the critical link between transparency and justice, requiring participants to produce multimedia work based on both quantitative and qualitative data. Its goal is to foster a culture of open governance, in which access to information enables citizens to understand the real-world impact of public policy decisions and the ethical standards upheld by the administration. This announcement highlights the vital role of open data in facilitating independent journalism. When governments proactively release data, they enable the media to carry out essential watchdog functions. This synergy between the availability of open data and journalistic inquiry is fundamental to building trust in institutions and ensuring that democratic processes are supported by evidence-based reporting and civic education.
