3. Data Journalism is not a new
concept
The ‘new’ here is the way it is done.
1. Computer Assisted reporting- often used in
Traditional investigative stories- finding stories in the
data – with or without visualisations
2. Visualising stories- Using the data to tell a story or
explain a complex problem – this will involve graphics or
‘visualisations’
3. Interactive stories- Providing a service or a tool that
tells the reader something personally relevant - school
score cards / tables or simple financial tools and
calculatorsDr. Anubhuti Yadav, Associate Professor, New

4. Some tips for Data Journalists
 Stories in the numbers vs numbers by themselves
 Give your data a human face
 Investigative journalism requires collaboration
 Its takes time
 Don’t waste time fishing – have insights first – or get
the user to help
 Clean your data and triple check it – there are
ALWAYS errors
 Plan publication and partner with a range of outlets
 Always have a page where you explain your
methodology
 Be prepared to respond to critics and staff to cover
corrections and feedbackDr. Anubhuti Yadav, Associate Professor, New

5. What makes data journalism different
to the rest of journalism
 It is the 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.
 The focus shifts from being the first one to report to
being the ones telling us what certain development
actually means
 Building articles based on facts and insights is a relief.
This means less dependency on guesssing, quotes
etc.
 Getting into data journalism offers a future
perspective
 Number-Crunching Meets Word-Smithing
Data journalism is bridging the gap between stat
technicians and wordsmiths. Locating outliers and
identifying trends that are not just statistically
significant, but relevant to de-compiling the inherently
