ANALYTIC JOURNALISM AND SCIENTIFIC VISUALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: Analytic Journalism and Scientific Visualization. Analytic journalism is a response to an increasing repertoire of digital data, effect of the digital information revolution. This type of journalism is not simply trying to communicate science, but to produce knowledge by retrieving and analyzing disparate information and constructing a critical discourse towards other arguments and explanations. Digital data is identified, retrieved, analyzed and communicated via a variety of media. Science imaging and visualization (SIV) studies how visual knowledge is produced, what is the role of the image in creating science knowledge and how images diffuse into nonacademic environments. SIV analyze the intersections of different forms of (visual) knowledge. This paper’s purpose is to examine how several data visualization tools produce knowledge and to what extent they succeed to offer the appropriate and reliable tools to present data from various fields and how they can be used by analytic journalists.
