Abstract

In the past, journalists were responsible for reporting the news. But today news stories disseminate as the incidents unfold, from multiple sources. Thus, gathering, filtering and visualizing events has a growing value. Huge amounts of data are available, but exploiting them is not an easy task. Data journalism can be defined as a journalism speciality in which numerical data are used in the production and distribution of information. This article investigates the necessary skills that journalists must have in order to cope with data journalism. More precisely, it defines data journalism, and discusses journalists’ Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills, as well as the necessary skills for supporting data journalism. Special attention is given to Web 3.0 and open data that can play an important role in data journalism. A survey conducted among professional journalists in Greece concerning data journalism is also presented and discussed.

数据新闻时代的记者
过去,记者负责报道新闻。但今天,随着事件的展开,新闻报道从多个来源传播开来。因此,收集、过滤和可视化事件具有越来越大的价值。大量的数据是可用的,但利用它们并不是一件容易的事。数据新闻可以被定义为一种新闻专业,其中数字数据被用于信息的生产和分发。本文调查了记者必须具备的必要技能,以应对数据新闻。更准确地说,它定义了数据新闻,并讨论了记者的信息和通信技术(ICT)技能,以及支持数据新闻的必要技能。特别关注Web 3.0和开放数据,它们可以在数据新闻中发挥重要作用。在希腊的专业记者中进行的一项关于数据新闻的调查也被提出和讨论。
