Jornalismo guiado por dados: aproximações entre a identidade jornalística e a cultura hacker

Abstract

Data Driven Journalism is a practice in the process of adoption by newsrooms around the world since the mid 2000s. It is a development of the concepts of Precision Journalism and Computer-Assisted Reporting, initially proposed in 1970, which has gained momentum by the digitization process of newsrooms and the adoption of policies on access to information by governments and institutions. The paper hypothesizes that Data Driven Journalism is configured as an overlap between the professional culture of journalists and hacker culture. The results of the preliminary stage of an ethnographic study of Brazilian journalists, carried forward in November and December of 2012, suggest that data-driven journalists do share some common practices and values with the members of hacker culture.
