#HateCrimeWatch is moving to a new home. With this, we effectively and immediately end our association with this crucial tool. The FactChecker.in team had identified a gnawing gap in crime reporting and basis this lacunae we conceptualised #HateCrimeWatch.
From a point of denial to a stage where we have collective acceptance of this heinous crime is in itself a significant achievement of this project.
We have done our bit, and we are truly grateful and appreciative of the acceptance that this initiative has received from our peers and legal fraternity #HateCrimeWatch was awarded at the recently held Data Journalism Awards in Athens datajournalismawards.org/2019-winners/
We believe that #HateCrimeWatch has outgrown its purpose and merits its own standing.
We will continue to address systemic issues such as these, with the same rigour, diligence and passion. We are a team that remains committed to evidence-based and data-backed journalism.
And while we sincerely hope that we never have the need for another #HateCrimeWatch till then we will continue to diligently find and mind the gaps.
