Abstract

El periodismo de datos moderno nace en 2008 con la confluencia de tres factores fundamentales: los renovados formatos de la Web, con HTML5 y CSS3 a la cabeza, la abundancia de software libre disponible para cada una de las etapas del proceso de investigación con datos y la apertura de portales de datos abiertos de los gobiernos. Para los periodistas uno de los retos fundamentales de este cambio tecnológico ha sido encontrar la formación adecuada. Existen diversas experiencias y enfoques en la educación periodística con datos; en este artículo se examina la docencia del periodismo de datos en España a través del análisis de las propuestas docentes en siete másteres impartidos por universidades españolas.

Abstract

Data journalism was born in 2008 with the confluence of three fundamental factors: the renewed formats of the Web, with HTML5 and CSS3 at the forefront, the abundance of free software available for every stage of the data research process, and the opening of government open data websites. For journalists, one of the fundamental challenges of this technological change has been to find the right training. There are diverse experiences and approaches to journalism education with data; this article examines the teaching of data journalism in Spain through the analysis of teaching proposals in seven master's degrees offered by Spanish universities.

Keywords: data journalism; data visualisation; data science; journalism; education.
