Thrilled to be included in this article about this year's Dataharvest! "Stefan Candea and Yossi Bartal presented one of the year’s most revealing investigations. When 300GB of data from the Israeli Ministry of Justice was leaked, few took notice. It took Bartal’s particular profile to act on it".
A huge thanks to everyone who presented, attended, to everyone who has shared their presentations and github repositories, and wrote glowing post-conference summaries. journalismarena.eu/clear-agreem...
Arena journalist @jelena-prtoric.bsky.social will be speaking at the Netzwerk Recherche conference this weekend about the use of AI tools in our #GreenToGrey investigation.
