Basango

Introduction

Basango is a structured system for collecting, processing, and organizing news articles from media outlets covering the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The project supports analysis across politics, economy, society, culture, environment, and international affairs.

The goal is to make large-scale text analysis easier for researchers, journalists, policy teams, and data practitioners. The system is designed for tasks such as sentiment analysis, trend detection, entity recognition, and language modeling.

The dataset prioritizes traceable sources and an adaptable collection pipeline. Users should still assess source quality and perspective, because journalistic standards vary by outlet and context.
