This is the main project repository of kawalmedia.id (Coming Soon).
Rojak is a non-profit and open source project used for observing online news website in any election in Indonesia. It can be useful for doing some news data analytics in presidential, governor, or even major election. This project actually was initialized at the very first time at October 2016 here, to observe the 2017 governor election in DKI Jakarta. However, because there were some unfinished tasks on our first initiative, we weren't able to release this project to production. However, since the responses/contributions from the developer community was extremely good at that time, we have been thinking about restarting this initiative and coming up with new requirements for the incoming election in Indonesia.
In the long journey of an public election, our citizen usually get informations about the election candidate from the online news site. Unfortunately, some of the online media tend to take a side in one of the election candidates. This can create bias to some/most of the informations published on the site. It could give positive impact for a candidate they take the side with, or even bad impact to another candidate and vice versa. Unfortunately, it might give some impact to all/most of the citizen's sentiment about one or more candidates.
By developing this project, we really have a huge hope that we can increase the awareness of our citizens by providing them the analytical data about how news media creates stories and takes a side in an election. Besides, by contributing to this open source project, we hope that we will be able to stimulate more developers in Indonesia to contribute to open source software community.
Ultimately, we are going to call this project as kawalmedia.id. The usage of Rojak as the name of this project is to preserve the original initiative of this project.
