摘要

摘要：几年来，新冠肺炎健康危机在国际范围内被大量报道。这将新闻报道推向了数据化的方向：记者学会了如何分析和可视化新冠肺炎对社会各阶层的统计影响。因此，2021年，国际西格玛奖数据新闻竞赛突出了对疫情的报道。本文采用定性成分的内容分析方法，对新冠肺炎入围作品（n=73）进行了分析。它侧重于团队提供的数据参考——来源、参考类型和使用的数据——显示官方机构的统计数据是最常用的数据类型。它还列出了记者在从事项目时必须面对的主要问题。这些问题通常分为两类：项目的特定特征（主要是“耗时”）和数据问题。

Fighting COVID-19 with data: An analysis of data journalism projects submitted to Sigma Awards 2021

Abstract: The COVID-19 health crisis has been heavily reported on an international scale for several years. This has pushed news journalism in a datafied direction: reporters have learnt how to analyse and visualise the statistical effects of COVID-19 on various sectors of society. As a result, in 2021, the international Sigma Awards competition for data journalism highlighted coverage of the pandemic. Using content analysis with qualitative elements, this paper analyses the shortlisted works covering COVID-19 from the competition (n=73). It focuses on the data references made by the teams – sources, type of both reference and data used – showing statistics from official institutions to be the most used type of data. It also lists the main problems journalists had to face while working on their projects. Most often these problems fell into two categories: specific characteristics of the project, mostly ‘time consuming’, and issues with data.
