Case Study: Ottawa Dialogue improves news content monitoring and analysis with SoftKraft

Ottawa Dialogue streamlines news analysis in 3 months with SoftKraft

SoftKraft developed a custom software application for Ottawa Dialogue, a university-based organization focused on conflict analysis and dialogue. The client needed to innovate their monitoring and evaluation by creating a tool to automate the collection, filtering, and analysis of vast amounts of online news, helping researchers discern media bias and reliability more efficiently.

The solution built by SoftKraft used Python, Django, Redis, and Beautiful Soup to create a system with tools for managing search terms, news sources, and filtered results. This automated the processing and analysis of news content, significantly reducing manual work. The implementation allowed Ottawa Dialogue to greatly improve the efficiency of their data collection and enable researchers to produce more trustworthy analysis.
