        As the emphasis of data journalism research shifts to the 
Global South, one region that remains relatively under-researched is 
Iberian America (Latin America, Spain and Portugal). Arguably a space 
that has pioneered data journalism practices and that has enormous 
potential for social change and development through open data, Iberian 
America has excelled in many areas related to the field. La Nación in 
Argentina, for instance, has to date one of the most innovative data 
journalism units globally. Also, La Nación, and the Spanish newspaper El 
País, were, together with the Guardian, the New York Times and the 
Spiegel, the first news organisation to extract and publish information 
from WikiLeaks’ War Logs. In addition, Spain is one of the most open 
societies in Europe, and a global example for open data use.

An absence of Ibero-American data journalism studies from mainstream 
scholarship creates an opportunity to further explore the developments 
and evolution of data journalism in this geographic region. In this 
vein, this special edition aims at repositioning Ibero-American data 
journalism within the broadest discussions on the field, 
recontextualising its contribution to debates on the role of this 
journalistic practice in the Global South.
