| description | Abstract
Data visualization works – in a journalistic context – to make
statistics and other forms of quantitative data accessible and meaningful
to a wide audience. Charts, graphs and maps stimulate the senses
through forms, colours and – in digital contexts – animation, and promise
an effective communication of complex facts. However, the techniques
applied can also lead to confusion and distrust, and they require
specific insights from both producers and readers. Through analysis
of 17 data visualizations, this study examines how such visualizations
work as a distinctive text and media type on Norwegian news sites. How
do they create meaning, and how do they influence journalism as
a genre and as a discursive practice? |
