Abstract

This chapter explores the role of data visualization in relation to transparency in the news, a field in which a decline in trust and a subsequent need to reassert credibility is an ongoing challenge.Being transparent about how the news is produced is seen as one way of generating trust, yet there has been very little empirical research into transparency practices in newsrooms.Our chapter fills this gap, focusing on transparency and data visualization.We argue that working with data visualization involves particular enactments of transparency, many of which are surprisingly not visual.
