Abstract:
Although data journalism emphasizes “data driven”, it should not be separated from
narrative. Using the method of case analysis, taking the data journalism of Caixin and its classic
works as examples, considering both forms and values, this paper studies the transformation and
countermeasures of data journalism narration. The transformation of data journalism narration
includes grand themes, diversified subjects, three-dimensional structure, and a new narrative mode of
space-time, relationship, and interaction. In the practice of data journalism, there are problems such as
the lack of humanistic concepts, inadequate data openness and supervision, as well as narrative logic
fractures and vague themes, which can be solved by combining macro and micro narratives, integrating
interviews and data, establishing a sound data openness and supervision system, and exploring causal
relationships among elements.
数据新闻虽强调“数据驱动”,但其不应与叙事割裂。运用个案分析法,以财新网“数字说”经典作品为例,兼顾“叙”和“事”,对数据新闻叙事的转变和对策进行研究。数据新闻叙事的转变包括主题宏大化,主体多元化,结构立体化,以及时空、关系和互动的新型叙事模式。数据新闻在叙事实践中主要存在人文主义观念缺失、数据开放和监管不到位,以及叙事逻辑断裂和主题模糊等问题,可以通过宏微叙事结合、采访与数据结合、建立完善的数据开放与监管制度、挖掘要素的因果关系等方式解决。
