Considering the interactions between developments in open data and
data journalism, Data for Journalism: Between Transparency and
Accountability offers an interdisciplinary account of this complex
and uncertain relationship in a context of tightening the control
over data and weighing transparency against privacy. As data has
brought both promise and disruptive changes to societies, the
relationship between transparency and accountability has become
complicated, and data journalism is practised alongside the
contradictory needs of opening up and protecting data. In addition
to exploring the benefits of data for journalism, this book
addresses the uncertain nature of data and the obstacles preventing
data from being fluently accessed and properly used for data
reporting. Because of these obstacles, it argues individual data
journalists play a decisive role in using data for journalism and
facilitating the circulation of data. Frictions in data access,
newsrooms' resources and cultures and data journalists' skill and
data literacy levels determine the degree to which journalism can
benefit from data, and these factors potentially exacerbate digital
inequalities between newsrooms in different countries and with
different resources. As such, the author takes an international
perspective, drawing on empirical research and cases from around
the world, including countries such as the UK, the US, Germany,
Sweden, Australia, India, China and Japan. Introducing a new
dimension to the study of developments in journalism and the role
of journalism in society, Data for Journalism will be of interest
to academics and researchers in the fields of journalism and the
sociology of (big and open) data.
