Tá dado: articulação e explicação de dados como facilitador na compreensão

Abstract

From the perspective of the democratization of information and media literacy, the present experimental project has the general objective of creating a page on Instagram to explain the use of data in journalism, contributing to a better understanding of this data by consumers of journalistic information. To achieve this objective, we start with the following question: how can an Instagram page be a space for literacy about the use of data in journalism and contribute to a better understanding of this data by information consumers? We resort to theoretical studies on the democratization of information and data, educommunication, literacy and media literacy, data and data journalism and digital social media. The methodological techniques used were exploratory and bibliographical research and the construction of the project, which we divided into three phases: pre-production, production and post-production. The result was the profile @ta_dado__, initially composed of five posts that contribute to the understanding of the use of data in journalism.
