In addition to exploring the benefits of data for journalism, this book addresses the uncertain nature of data and the obstacles preventing data from being fluently accessed and properly used for data reporting. Because of these obstacles, it argues individual data journalists play a decisive role in using data for journalism and facilitating the circulation of data. Frictions in data access, newsrooms' resources and cultures and data journalists' skill and data literacy levels determine the degree to which journalism can benefit from data, and these factors potentially exacerbate digital inequalities between newsrooms in different countries and with different resources. As such, the author takes an international perspective, drawing on empirical research and cases from around the world, including countries such as the UK, the US, Germany, Sweden, Australia, India, China and Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing a new dimension to the study of developments in journalism and the role of journalism in society, \u003ci\u003eData for Journalism \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to academics and researchers in the fields of journalism and the sociology of (big and open) data.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJingrong Tong \u003c\/strong\u003eis Senior Lecturer in Digital News Cultures at the University of Sheffield.
