Data Visualization in the News Media: Trends and Challenges

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Data visualization is applied intensively in the digital news media 
where it serves as an effective tool for storytelling and for facilitating explana tions of complex or data-intensive information. However, research and theoreti cal studies of this type of narrative lag badly behind in terms of both their volume 
and importance. It is in response to this failure to keep pace that this chapter seeks 
to review academic and scientific production dedicated to understanding the 
news media, data visualization and, more specifically, information visualization, 
infographics, visual narratives, and visual storytelling. In so doing, our aims are 
to, first, delimit the state of the art of this discipline; second, describe emerging 
trends and the challenges faced when seeking to deploy data visualization, at the 
same time as identifying the technologies and protocols being employed to this 
end and, third, deter-mine the possibilities and limitations of its use for commu nication and journalism. We find that recent studies have focused primarily on 
infographics, data journalism, structured journalism, media literacy and the 
reader’s interpretation of visual data, the exploitation of visualization in the dig ital media, and visual analytics. Studies of data visualization technologies and 
tools have shown an interest above all in the application of big data strategies 
within the news media, as well as in the development of software and tools of 
visual analysis. Finally, our scientific database revealed a number of studies ded icated to visual analytics, the specific challenges faced and the decision-making 
processes involved.
