Data-driven reporting:
why do it?
CRINA–GABRIELA BOROŞ
DATA JOURNALIST & INTERNATIONAL CAR TRAINER
SO WHAT IS
DATA
JOURNALISM?
What’s in
a name?
Computer-Assisted Reporting (CAR)
Data Journalism (DJ)
Data-Driven Journalism
(DDJ)
There is no good name
for what we do!
DATA = JUST ANOTHER SOURCE
What CAR reporters are not = hackers /
programmers, web designers, scientists,
mathematicians
TRANSPARENCY
ACCOUNTABILITY
EVIDENCE-BASED JOURNALISM
(as opposed to anecdotal evidence or informed
opinion)
SHOWS SYSTEMIC PROBLEMS
IDENTIFIES OUTLIERS OUTSIDE
PERSONAL BIAS OR ANECDOTES
PROTECTION OF HUMAN SOURCES
FACILITATES WATCHDOGGING
So, why
does it
matter?
 Proof of systemic wrongdoing
*stop and search discriminates against
non-whites
 Correlations
*school test results and poverty level
 Can find the problems in the system
*cartels *fat cats *discrimination
 Misuse of public trust
* MPs expenses *
 Trends over time
*life expectancy
