National Missing and Murder Data Base To Track Black Canadians/Kids
The Daily Scrum News aims to address the critical gap in tracking missing and murdered Black Canadians by developing a national database. This project will focus on creating a working smart, robust, and public-facing platform dedicated to this cause. The platform will be accessible in real-time and serve families, law enforcement, journalists, educators, and advocates. It will utilize data to track, analyze, and predict patterns to assist in finding the missing and highlighting systemic failures. The project will include permanent visual records, journalistic storytelling, and a searchable archive to ensure that these individuals are remembered and their stories are told. This initiative is a pioneering effort in Canada and seeks to create a coordinated strategy to address this pressing issue.
The Daily Scrum News Journalism Platform
The main goal for the project is to provide journalism and communication students with a platform to engage in news coverage dedicated to civic, state, federal, and global affairs. The project aims to give students the experience of publishing and working in a virtual newsroom through the recognized news platform, The Daily Scrum News.
Marketing The Daily Scrum News Website Using Google Search Ads
The objective of this project is to market The Daily Scrum News website using Google search ads. This will involve setting up search ad campaigns to run globally, emphasizing Canada, the United States, Africa and India. There will be a requirement to geo-target Canadian Provinces and US States. This Campaign will help with branding and social awareness and attract advertisers and journalists to join the platform. The team must also remove all current ads and be given a clean, blank slate. In addition, they will be required to properly set up our Google Analytics and remove all old accounts not applicable to the news website. An emphasis will also be focused on growing the Twitter profile organically. There will be no advertising funds allocated to the Twitter growth.
Saftey App - Cops and Karens
Our company works in the media with the foundation's non-profit organization. We aim to tell compelling stories in daily news with an emphasis on a humanistic approach, hoping to foster meaningful dialogue without taking part in the rhetoric in the current media landscape. We have been working with students and teaching journalism through the virtual internship program for years. Most recently, students from the virtual internship program started developing a safety App. to be deployed on Android and IOS. With the pandemic, the students did not get to finish the App., which is now why we are connecting with Riipen. The Application is around 80% complete, meaning all functions work and have been tested for uploading videos. The next phase is the live streaming and interactions that requires significant coding, UI and design to get it to the stage where it can be deployed into both the IOS and Android stores; We want to work with students to finish the App. Cops & Karens is an app that can capture video and send out notifications in situations of danger—similar to the video functions of YouTube but with many more unique features. The current status of the app involves hosting it on GitHub and utilizing Atlassian.com and Jira for communication and progress tracking. The next steps include implementing live streaming functionality, creating proper icons and graphics, incorporating third-party advertisements, and developing a platform similar to YouTube that enables payment to content creators for their submitted videos. The project has comprehensive documentation from the previous development team, including source codes, making it accessible for a new team to seamlessly take over and continue the project. The team is eager to collaborate with a new group to advance the app further.
