One of the most important goals of the Knight International Journalism Fellowships Program is to produce impact that benefits society. I think we have done that in Panama. In the two years since we launched Mi Panama Transparente, the digital map has provided a platform that helps journalists and citizens track crime and corruption across the country.
To recognize the two-year anniversary of his digital mapping platform, Knight Fellow Jorge Luis Sierra held a press conference that attracted representatives from all of the Mi Panama Transparente partner organizations.
Citizens can use the map to report a wide range of crimes, giving details about the time and location of each incident.
Miles de habitantes marcharon por la paz, contra la delincuencia y por una sociedad más segura en ciudad Panamá. Los caminantes recorrieron la cinta costera bajo una lluvia pertinaz, pero con ánimo, alegría y mucho deseo de participación.
