An article on the UNESCO website reports on the results of a Media and Information Literacy hackathon that took place in Indonesia in December 2023. It was part of a project Social Media 4 Peace and the hackathon was co-sponsored by UNESCO and the Nakara Foundation.
"49 people representing 5 media and 5 university teams from Bandung, Indramayu, Jakarta, Manado, Malang, Solo, and Sukabumi were selected to be the ten finalists competing in two categories of the hackathon – one for media and one for university students."
The media category was won by Tagih Janji (Bail the Promises) by ZonaUtara.com, North Sulawesi. Tagih Janji doesn't appear to be still available (there is a link in the UNESCO article but it is dead). However there is a display of screenshots from entrants I found at https://nakara.odoo.com/hackathon-display
The winner of the student category was a chrome extension, AI Hoax Buster, created by a team from the Islamic University of Raden Rahmat (UNIRA), Malang.
