Big Data e jornalismo: um casamento possível?

Abstract

The present research aims to understand how journalism can use Big Data in order to contribute to citizenship. Through a historical contextualization of citizenship and Big Data over the years to the present, I look for the factors that connect them and how journalism fits into this scenario. With the intention of showing how this new field of journalism has been evolving and generating more knowledge about the scientific field, a survey is presented on what is being done in the country in relation to this theme. In planning the strategies of the transmetodology, I used as a specific methodology the exploratory and empirical research, to understand how the technologies can help the journalists to work with Big Data. From the research on programs of data visualization, the empirical analysis was carried out to verify their applicability in the daily routine of a newsroom.
