“…Interactivity is thus seen as a basic and unique aspect of online communication and is often presented as a core characteristic of digital journalism (Boczkowski 2004;Engebretsen 2006). Studies of journalistic practice indicate, however, that online interactivity represents a field of myth and tension, the primary tension being between an idealized image of an active and motivated explorer of a visualized dataset, on one hand, and conventionalized practice of quick and scrolling news reading, on the other (Domingo 2008;Burmester et al 2010;Young et al 2017). A high level of interactivity can also come into conflict with the traditional privilege of journalists as storytellers.…”

The visualization of numeric data is becoming an important element in journalism. In this article, we present an interview study investigating data visualization practices in Scandinavian newsrooms. Editorial leaders, data journalists, developers and graphic designers in 10 major news organizations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark provide information for the study on a range of issues concerning visualization practices and experiences. The emergence of multi-skilled specialist groups as well as innovation in technology and the ‘mobile first mantra’ are identified as important factors in the fast-developing practices of journalistic data visualization. Elements of tension and negotiation are revealed for issues concerning the role and effect of complex exploratory data visualizations and concerning the role of ordinary journalists in the production of charts and graphs.

Data visualisation – in the forms of graphs, charts, and maps – represents a text type growing in prevalence and impact in many cultural domains; education, journalism, business, PR, and more. Research on data visualisation reception is scarce, particularly that related to interactive and dynamic forms of data visualisation in digital media. Taking an approach inspired by grounded theory, in this article I investigate the ways in which young students interact with data visualisations found in digital news media. Combining observations from reading sessions with ten in-depth interviews, I investigate how the informants read, interpreted, and responded emotionally to data visualisations including visual metaphors, interactivity, and animation.

“…Nevertheless, in their work they define interactive information graphics as "a hybrid presentation of different modalities: text, photos, audios, videos, charts, maps, graphs, illustrations" which are combined and where "the interplay of these is more than the sum of the parts" (361). Also, they define interactivity and hypertextuality as main characteristics of interactive information graphics and point out that each information graphic focuses on one topic or story (Burmester et al 2010).…”

Predictive graphics, which require users to think and deduce before they can access the result, broaden possibilities for media to attract their audience. Recent research suggests that visualizing one' s predictions improves recall and comprehension of data. Through a qualitative study of interactive infographics, the present article identifies two types of predictive infographics in digital media: users' prediction-based graphics and calculation-based predictive graphics. How to challenge users and interaction strategies are analyzed, describing models that could be useful for both researchers and professionals from the field.
