Teaching Data Journalism: A Systematic Review

Understanding and Enhancing Journalism Students’ Perception of Data Journalism

“…In the past decade, the landscape of academic research in data journalism has experienced a notable increase in collaborative endeavors across journalism, computer science and data science, resulting in a substantial body of studies delving into the intricacies of data journalism practices. Encompassing a range of research topics, such as tools and technologies, ethical considerations, education and training, audience engagement and the impact on traditional newsrooms, this growing body of work has identified key challenges, including issues related to data quality, access and ongoing training (Appelgren and Nygren 2014;Karlsen and Stavelin 2014;De Maeyer et al 2015;McBride 2016;Borges-Rey 2016;Cushion et al 2017;Stalph 2018;Appelgren and Salaverría 2018;Appelgren 2019;Heravi 2019;Usher 2020;Vanacker 2021;Tong and Zuo 2021;Fahmy and Attia 2021;Arias-Robles and López 2021;Jamil 2021;Martin et al 2022;de-Lima-Santos 2022;Haim 2022;Zhang and Chen 2022;Bhaskaran et al 2022;Guan and Wang 2022;Heravi et al 2022;Bisiani et al 2023;Stalph et al 2023;Chaparro-Domínguez and Díaz-Campo 2023;de-Lima-Santos and Mesquita 2023;Wu 2023;Ramsälv et al 2023).…”

“…Data journalism is becoming increasingly important for journalists and journalism students, indicating the need for curriculum reform (Lynch 2015). Various studies have highlighted the importance of incorporating data journalism into journalism programs and courses (Heravi and Lorenz 2020;Weiss and Retis 2018;Bhaskaran et al 2022). Furthermore, the growing demand for data journalism in newsrooms has prompted journalism schools to adapt their curricula to address the evolving needs of the industry (Jiang and Rafeeq 2019;Kashyap and Bhaskaran 2020).…”

Data and Technology: One of the Challenges for Journalism

“…However, due to its ability to capture attention and communicate information, the use of numbers and representations of statistical data have become frequently used (Gal, 2005;Sušec et al, 2014). Journalism has turned to more quantitative information and increasingly incorporates "data journalism" news -a practice that uses datasets, computational tools and algorithms to create stories (Bhaskaran et al, 2022).…”

“…Currently, digital data is considered 'a gold mine for modern journalism' 1 (Anadiotis et al, 2022). Therefore, it is not surprising that data journalism is part of the newsrooms of many newspapers (Bhaskaran et al, 2022).…”

Uma análise da compreensibilidade das visualizações de dados durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil

“…O uso de visualizações de dados como um recurso para apoiar o entendimento sobre informações para uma determinada população vem se consolidando. Esse avanço é percebido pela proliferação de representações gráficas no cotidiano através de áreas mais recentes como o jornalismo de dados (Bhaskaran et al, 2022) ou técnicas de visual law (Bolesina et al, 2022). Representações visuais como essas, buscam ajudar as pessoas a realizar tarefas com mais eficiência com o auxílio de imagens geradas pelo computador a partir de um conjunto de dados projetados (Munzner, 2014).…”
