Media Monitoring with SwiftRiver
Media Monitoring with SwiftRiver
This is is a working document to document media monitoring workf=
lows utilizing SwiftRiver and Ushahidi/Crowdmap. (Note this document was cr=
eated by =EF=BB=BFJuliana Rotich
This is a proposed draft for media monitors using SwiftRiver in their w=
orkflow. E.g Standby Task Force activations. This draft is based on the so=
cial media monitoring that was done during the simulation of Kenya electio=
ns.
**This is to be reviewed by SBTF for feedback and improvement.
Media Monitoring Leads need to be identified. Once identified, they sho=
uld sign up for SwiftRiver login. If you do not already have a login, sign=
up on http://www.swiftly.org/beta/
If you are lead, do the following
=09- Create a river to pull in the appropriate feeds of data
=09- Set the channels for collecting data in the River Settings.
=09
=09=09- Check the map, and look at the 'How to Report' section for the h=
ashtags to use. E.g for Uchaguzi.co.ke, the Twitter hashtags are #ndhiwa
#kangema #kajiadonorth. Additional hashtags can be found in the 'important links' section of the site which links to the schedule for volunteers/team m=
embers.The settings for the river should look somethinglike this.
=09=09- You can add a twitter user account by
=09=09- Add RSS feeds as channels. Look at the schedule for volunteer=
s, go to the website to be monitored, identify the RSS feed link and add it=
to River Settings.
=09=09- For Facebook RSS feeds refer to this s=
hort guide, if it does not work, a developer needs to use this guide to help you get the RSS feed you=
can use.=C2=A0
=09=09- For blog RSS feeds these are typically easy to find, just look fo=
r the RSS feed symbol on the blog and click on it. Put this link as a par=
ameter in the River Settings
=09
=09
=09- =C2=A0Start creating buckets.
=09
=09=09- If the event is geo based in several key locations e.g by a han=
dful of consituencies, create buckets for those. e.g Ndhiwa By Elections,=
Kangema By Elections etc
=09=09- If the event is broader, create buckets that mirror major categ=
ories. E.g Critical/Emergency reports, Security, Positive events etc.
=09
=09
=09- Go back to River Settings: Start inviting collaborators as Editors
=09
=09=09- If there is a general data sifting team, give them editor privi=
leges. (They need to have logged into SwiftApp at least once. If they do =
not have an account, have them sign up on http://www.swiftly.org/bet=
a/)
=09=09- Add a specific collaborator to a river, then to the bucket they =
need to work on. E.g By elections River, and Ndhiwa by elections bucket =
for one collaborator.=C2=A0
=09=09- Give them specific instructions about using the filters on the =
river to help surface specific tweets that can be added to the appropriat=
e bucket. Alternatively, they can scan the flow of info as it comes into =
the river and add the drops into the appropriate buckets.
=09
=09
If you are not lead on the media monitoring team:
=09- Refer to the schedule pick a time slot and notify the lead med=
ia monitor of your availability and category you will be collaborating on.<=
/li>
=09
- Include your swift app username
=09- Refresh your SwiftRiver dashboard, accept the invites from the team =
lead.
=09- Go back to main river, apply appropriate filter or scan the river an=
d add appropriate drops into buckets

Integration of SwiftRiver=
bucket RSS to Crowdmap/Ushahidi reports is yet to be completed. Th=
is page will be updated once that is completed and this workflow diagram updated.
Integration of SwiftRiver into Crowdmap/Ushahidi has been completed via =
a plugin. This plugin is downloadable on =
Github or search for it in Crowdmap plugin tab in settings.
TBD: Updating Workflow diagram teed up for StandbyTaskforce.
