8. The Downfall of Data
Data driven Journalism
can be a wonderful thing
but it is not always easy
to implement.
For an example,
government agencies
and corporations have to
be persuaded to share
certain data and the
audience has to demand
certain qualities.

Driven Journalism is still
hard to see through.
Hopefully this new way of
story-telling will captivate
audiences, social media
outlets, and advertising
markets needed to
sustain.

onto previously dark corners and giving

care about.”
