Hi everyone, from one of the New York Times stories on the Panama Papers: "The ICIJ made a number of powerful research tools available to the consortium that the group had developed for previous leak investigations. Those included a secure, Facebook-type forum where reporters could post the fruits of their research, as well as database search program called “Blacklight” that allowed the teams to hunt for specific names, countries or sources." http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/06/business/media/how-a-cryptic-message-interested-in-data-led-to-the-panama-papers.html I assume this is http://projectblacklight.org/, which is pretty cool to see used that way. Does anyone know or have read anything about the other tools they used? What did they use for OCR? Did they use qualitative data analysis software? Some type of annotation tools? It seems like there's a lot to learn from this effort. Thanks, -- Sebastian Karcher, PhD Qualitative Data Repository, Syracuse University qdr.syr.edu
