Analytics at its Limit: How the Pandemic Challenges Data Journalism, Forces New Formats and Reveals Blind Spots

Christina Elmer

Der Spiegel, Germany

For data journalism, the covid pandemic is both an enormous challenge and an encouragement. Hardly ever before has the analysis of current data sets been so relevant for readers, but at the same time sources are far from optimal. Much of the data is not collected in the required depth, is made available in unwieldy formats and is, moreover, only of limited value for a comprehensive assessment of the current situation. Data journalists have responded to this - with innovative formats, new processes and investigations that shed light into the black box that is the pandemic. In this lecture, these developments will be introduced, illustrated with examples and discussed in a broader context.
