To make use of it for further analysis, some meta-data and normalisation would be helpful, e.g. whether someone received media allegations about corruption versus someone was actually fined.

The result could be used by journalists to generate infographics, and to select and slice-and-dice data for better reporting. At the moment, reporting is mostly on single incidents; only occasionally, at the end of articles, related incidents are mentioned. Systemic issues (e.g. regular political corruption in a party) require more long-term data gathering, which journalists rarely take the time for, and such a data-set could be very useful background material for it.
