When thousands of pages of municipal road repair contracts are dumped online, small newsrooms lack the workforce to review them. Local news portals are now teaming up with hundreds of college students to scan and verify these public invoices. By turning passive readers into active investigative partners, journalists can analyze massive troves of data in days.
The Bharat Media Association champions this crowdsourced model. Letting citizens audit their local district's road tenders exposes ghost contractors and broken promises, effectively transforming raw civic data into actionable, community-led accountability.
