The Principles, Features and Techniques of Data Journalism2018 •
Digital and computational technology is steadily developing and continually bringing changes in the field of journalism, which faces a major crisis, as people's trust in the media continues to decrease. This paper studies the subject of data journalism which is increasing in popularity and is considered to be at the forefront of these changes. This kind of journalism may be a way to re-establish and strengthen journalism's value, as well as to reassure its sustainability. Datasets, tools, policies on Freedom of Information and transparency and professionals become constantly available for data journalism to flourish. However, there are still many challenges along with skepticism and confusion around its role and value in the field. In the near future, data journalism seems to gain more trust by the news organization and the public, as both start to comprehend its potentials.

On Conceptual and Methodological Deficiencies of Data Journalism-Related Studies in Turkey2020 •
The Internet and technological developments have brought profound changes in social, cultural, and political structures worldwide. These changes have influenced not only the formal background, but also contextual frame of those structures. Perhaps no field has been more affected than media. The Internet and Web 2.0 technologies have led to the formation of new media platforms-digital media tools. Massive collections of data, search engines, and complex data services have emerged. Thus, the term "Big Data" has become widespread worldwide. Much research has been conducted to understand how various disciplines make use of and benefit from big data. In this context, media and communication scholars have focused on this newest concept in terms of effective data use and interpretation of complex information in practice. Big Data has become a keyword in contemporary journalism studies. The use of various data sets, graphics, complex charts, figures, and advanced techniques in news making and presentation has been discussed within the framework of data journalism since the late 2000s worldwide. The current study aims to find out how data journalism has been conceptualized in Turkey, and what are the inadequacies that need to be developed. To this end, data journalism-related studies were subjected to content analysis. The findings showed that there is still lack of conceptualization of data journalism and comprehensive research in Turkey.

Data Journalism Practices Globally: Skills, Education, Opportunities, and ValuesDespite the growing interest in data journalism in newsrooms and its more recent emergence as an academic discipline, there is a need for systematic research on the state-of-the-art and current data journalism-related practices in newsrooms. The Global Data Journalism survey was an attempt to address this gap by studying the data journalism practices in newsrooms across the world. This study provides a descriptive view of the results of this study and discusses the findings on several aspects of data journalism practice, characteristics of data journalists and data teams, and their skills and educational requirements. We further provide insight into the values associated with journalistic work and analyse the ways in which the community believes data journalism has improved or undermined these values.
In the past, journalists were responsible for reporting the news. But today news stories disseminate as the incidents unfold, from multiple sources. Thus, gathering, filtering and visualizing events has a growing value. Huge amounts of data are available, but exploiting them is not an easy task. Data journalism can be defined as a journalism speciality in which numerical data are used in the production and distribution of information. This article investigates the necessary skills that journalists must have in order to cope with data journalism. More precisely, it defines data journalism, and discusses journalists' Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, as well as the necessary skills for supporting data journalism. Special attention is given to Web 3.0 and open data that can play an important role in data journalism. A survey conducted among professional journalists in Greece concerning data journalism is also presented and discussed.

Data Journalism in the Context of Important Political EventsData journalism is one way to provide readers with objective and relevant reports. The study is a content analysis of the use of data journalism by Slovak online news portals. The research sample consists of 11,267 articles published during February 2020, February 2019, June 2019 and November2019. The aim was to use a quantitative research strategy to determine whether significant policy events have an impact on the higher frequency of data journalism components in domestic news. The results show that data journalism is an integral part of newsrooms. Despite this, the use of data faces several problems, especially in terms of journalists’ lack of skills and experience in this area of journalism. This is also reflected in the limits of the use of data journalism in reporting on an influential agenda that has an impact on public and political life. Newsrooms do not respond adequately to the presence of a significant political and public agenda, which is mainly processed in th...
Data journalism is a well established story-telling method across different news media in the United States. Analysis of this landscape (together with three detailed case studies) allows us to determine elements of best practice, Damian Radcliffe and his students at the University of Oregon argue.
