DESCRIPTION:Data journalism practice is strongly influenced by political\,
  economic\, social\, and cultural factors. While deemed to be a significan
 t contributor to investigative and watchdog journalism in the West\, capab
 le of uncovering hidden truths to create an empowered citizenry\, its prac
 tice in non-Western societies with stricter state influence or control of 
 the press presents more obstacles to data access and reporting. This guest
  lecture uncovers the multitude of ways in which the state may shape data 
 news coverage and journalistic sensibilities in such societies\, using exa
 mples from the Covid-19 pandemic and its coverage in Asia\, and the ways d
 ata journalists respond to such actions. The discussion will span all the 
 stages of news production – from the news gathering and selection stages
 \, to the newswriting and presentation stage – detailing the state’s a
 bility to shape public discourse and opinion. \nDr Shangyuan Wu is a lectu
