摘 要: 可视化作为数据新闻的重要特征,具有信息告知和视觉吸引两大功能。通过对《卫报》《纽约时报》、网易、财新网的数据新闻专栏的内容分析,本研究发现:静态的图表和信息图仍是数据新闻可视化的主要表现形式;绝大多数报道不具有交互性,在有交互设计的作品中,时间轴和地图是最常见的交互表达形式;在信息告知功能方面,大部分可视化报道仅仅将数据进行了图形化处理,信息整合以及观点阐释和预测功能较弱。本研究认为,数据新闻可视化须以信息告知为首要功能,视觉吸引力应当服务于信息功能。 This paper explores how data visualization’s information function and visual engagement function are practiced in data news both in China and in the Western countries.Based on a content analysis of the data-driven reports on The Guardian,The New York Times,Netease,and Caixin.com from January to June 2017,this paper concludes that static spreadsheets,graphs and infographics make up the majority in the visualized data-driven reports.Most of the data reports consist no interactivity,interactive timelines and maps are often used,and the high-level interactivity and game design are seldom employed.As for the information function of data news,most of the visualization only transform data into graphs,the extent of information integration and explanation are not practiced well.At last,this research claims that informing should be regarded as the primary function of data visualization,to which visual engagement should serve.
