Why do data journalism and news apps matter, Chase Davis? towcenter.org/blog/applying-data-science-to-all-the-news-thats-fit-to-print/ Numeracy is important. A more universal appreciation of technology in our industry is important. A culture of rapid, constant experimentation is important. To the extent that data journalism has encouraged those things in newsrooms, I think it’s been hugely important. The actual product of data journalism — news apps, visualizations, stories — those will all continue to evolve, but data journalism’s continuing contribution to newsroom culture is something that I hope is permanent.
