Towards a critical understanding of data visualisation in democracy: a deliberative systems approach

2021

Data and data visualisations – in the forms of graphs, charts and maps – are becoming an increasingly important feature of social, public and political life. Yet within existing scholarship, the democratic significance of data visualisations has thus far received minimal attention. This article offers a first systematic attempt to make sense of and scrutinise the role of data visualisation in democracy. We apply deliberative systems theory in the analysis of three original case studies to elucidate how data visualisation can integrate into the overall anatomy of democracy, and to normatively assess how data visualisation contributes towards key democratic ideals. Conclusively, we highlight …

Frames and Contradictions of the Journalistic Profession

His words reflect the noticeable power the press had acquired in society already by the end of the 19th century. Journalism began to obtain characteristics of a profession, developing from craft towards an occupation demanding certain specific qualities.

Models and Streams of Data Journalism

2015

This paper presents the initial results of a two-year research project, the Data Journalism Work Practices, which focuses on newsrooms in Finland, UK and US. Data journalism or data-driven journalism has been defined simply as journalism based on large data sets (or big data) Rogers 2011; Bounegru et al. 2012). According to our ongoing research on data journalism work methods, we can claim this has been an oversimplification. In this paper we will argue that all the brief definitions of data journalism lack nuances, and the multiple layers that contemporary data journalism already consists of in newsrooms. Based on six interviews of leading Finnish, American and British data journalists we …

Konstruksjonen av EØS i norske nettaviser

2016

Masteroppgave samfunnskommunikasjon- Universitetet i Agder, 2016 Det europeiske økonomiske samarbeidsområde (EØS) er Norges tilknytning til EU. Avtalen som sikrer Norge deltakelse i EUs indre marked har vært og er fortsatt et debattert tema hvor det hersker motsetningsfylte meninger om norsk deltakelse. Avtalen i seg selv fremstår som et nasjonalt kompromiss som gjør Norge stadig mer delaktig i den europeiske integrasjonsprosessen. I et journalistisk politisk debattklima som blir stadig mer personifisert, og hvor nettavisene konkurrerer om klikk og sidevisninger, forsøker denne studien å se nærmere på hvordan EØS kommuniseres i norske nettaviser og hva som kjennetegner kommunikasjonen.
