What Is Data Journalism?
“Data Journalism is telling stories that are based on concrete data. Even though it is not something new and journalists have been reporting using data for quite some time, recent technological advancements have made it easier to do data journalism using a plethora of new open source tools available to us all.” – Data Journalism Handbook
Read Data journalism at the Guardian: what is it and how do we do it?
What Makes Data Journalism Different?• New possibilities that open up
when you combine the traditional ‘nose for news’ and ability to tell a compelling story, with the sheer scale and range of digital information now available.
• Possibilities can come at any stage of the journalist’s process.
See Data Journalism Process
Modeled by Mirko Lorenz, DW
ExampleOpening up the news gathering process itself, as The Guardian do so successfully in sharing data, context, and questions with their Datablog (also MP’s expenses).
Using software to find connections between hundreds of thousands of documents, as The Telegraph did with MPs' expenses.………………………………………………………
Investigate your MP’s Expenses (The Guardian)
Example
Telling a complex story through engaging infographics.
Hans Rosling’s spectacular talks on visualizing world poverty with Gapminder, for example, have attracted millions of views across the world.

Watch ‘New Insights on Poverty’
ExampleDavid McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut -- and it may just change the way we see the world.

Example
