Better Access: Data for the Common Good

KGI’s latest report authored by a distinguished group of leaders from research, civil society, and journalism offers a roadmap for expanding access to high-influence public platform data – the narrow slice of public platform data that has the greatest impact on civic life due to its reach, source, or role in shaping what people see online.
