Data journalists possess a unique set of skills, including the ability to find and gather data and use that data to tell a compelling written story in a visually coherent way. Results from our interviews and research show as newspapers move to a digital format, the role of data journalists is becoming more essential, as are laws like the Freedom of Information Act, which enable journalists to request and use data to inform the public and hold accountable those in power.]]></p></abstract>
