Data Journalism in 2017: A Summary of Results from the Global Data Journalism Survey.

Data journalism is an emerging discipline, which as a practice it is rapidly becoming an integral part of many newsrooms. Despite this growth, there is a lack of systematic research in this area to reveal the best practices, knowledge sets, and skills required to develop the discipline. To address this gap, this paper presents a brief overview of the results of the first Global Data Journalism Survey, which includes the participation of journalists from 43 countries. Presented results shed light on a variety of aspects of data journalism practice across the globe, including demographics, skills, education, and formation of data teams, as well as the opportunities and values associated with data journalism.
