Talk:Computational journalism

It was suggested that this entry be merged with the entry for data driven journalism. But there's a distinction between the two. Computational journalism isn't just about reporting (e.g. computer assisted reporting) - it's also about computational thinking (i.e. algorithmic, abstract, procedural, model-based) applied to journalism.

Znmeb (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC) I think of computational journalism as a superset of data journalism, data driven journalism, and computer-assisted reporting. There's a fairly good overview in Communications of the ACM, October 2011, "Computational Journalism". But the term "data journalism" has achieved a certain amount of critical mass - for example, O'Reilly is publishing a "Handbook of Data Journalism" in the near future. So I think we're stuck with multiple overlapping "disciplines" for a while. Znmeb (talk) 22:21, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I do agree that Data Journalism and Computational Journalism share some common threads, but Computational Journalism is how computation (algorithms, process, coding, data, networking, and information technology) are directly impacting and changing journalism. Data Journalism is attempting to unify the concept around data-mining for Journalism. IrfanEssa (talk) 01:09, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
