Data
journalism can help a journalist tell a complex story through engaging
infographics. Or it can help explain how a story relates to an
individual, as the BBC and the Financial Times now routinely do with
their budget interactives (where you can find out how the budget affects
you, rather than ‘Joe Public’). And it can open up the news gathering
process itself, as The Guardian do so successfully in sharing data,
context, and questions with their Datablog. Data can be the source of
data journalism, or it can be the tool with which the story is told - or
it can be both. Like any source, it should be treated with scepticism;
and like any tool, we should be conscious of how it can shape and
restrict the stories that are created with it.
Data-driven journalism is the future. Journalists need to be data-savvy. It used to be that you would get stories by chatting to people in bars, and it still might be that you’ll do it that way some times. But now it’s also going to be about poring over data and equipping yourself with the tools to analyze it and picking out what’s interesting. And keeping it in perspective, helping people out by really seeing where it all fits together, and what’s going on in the country.
