New book

*Data Journalism and the COVID-19 Disruption

<https://www.routledge.com/Data-Journalism-and-the-COVID-19-Disruption/Tong/p/book/9781032550770>*

Bringing together insights into current developments in data journalism 
during (and since the onset of) the COVID‑19 pandemic from world‑leading 
data journalism practitioners and academics, this book draws on case 
studies and examples from different countries to critically reflect on 
emerging data journalism practices during the pandemic and their 
sustainability and implications for journalism and newsroom work in the 
post‑pandemic era. The chapters document changes in the practice and 
integration of data journalism into newsrooms and the 24/7 news cycle 
after the unexpected onset of the pandemic and explore how newsrooms and 
journalists are coping with the sudden and immense demand for data 
journalism and related challenges. This book also scrutinises the 
implications for understanding the roles played by newsroom structure 
and operation, the uncertain nature of data, and the relationship 
between journalism and other social entities such as audiences and the 
state in journalism’s development through times of crisis.

Offering a timely contribution to the discussions on how data journalism 
evolved during a time of crisis, this volume will appeal to scholars and 
students of data journalism, journalism practice, media and 
communication studies, and media industry studies.
