Gratuitous plug for our sister site here, but GirlGuides has a nice story about the recent Global Editors’ Network hackathon in Cape Town, where an all-female team of journalists from The Sunday Times won R20 000 for mashing together newsworthy stories and digital tech. The resulting app, PartyMatch, is designed to help you work out which political party you identify with based on your personal values in time for the next election.
When it comes to politicians you need all the help you can get to differentiate them, so it’s a worthy idea. There’s more news on the runners-up and the plan for putting PartyMatch into production over at GirlGuides.
