Abstract

In Russia, data journalism is a topic discussed both in newsrooms and in academia. Absence of relevant practices means absence of relevant theoretical framework. Addressing this conceptual gap, this chapter discusses the results of the survey of data-driven Russian media practices to answer the question about the main features and the subject of data-driven journalism as it is in Russian media. The chapter focuses on quantitative methods of content analysis of the leading Russian media to describe the subject of data-driven journalism. The main features of development of data journalism in Russia will be presented as a result of content analysis of publications of seven leading Russian newspapers and magazines (2014–2016) and discussed by media experts to specify Russian data journalism (2016–2018). Data journalism in Russia as a maturing field is a litmus test for maturity of not only journalism, but also the national media system, the state and the civil society.
