title="Journalism">journalism</a> that seeks to make sense of complex <a href="/wiki/Reality" title="Reality">reality</a> in order to create public understanding. It combines aspects of <a href="/wiki/Investigative_journalism" title="Investigative journalism">investigative journalism</a> and explanatory reporting. Analytic journalism can be seen as a response to professionalized communication from powerful agents, <a href="/wiki/Information_overload" title="Information overload">information overload</a>, and growing complexity in a globalised world. It aims to create evidence-based interpretations of reality, often confronting dominant ways of understanding a specific phenomenon. </p><p>It is distinctive in terms of research practices and journalistic product.<sup id="cite_ref-ross_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ross-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> At times, it uses methods from social science research.<sup id="cite_ref-ac_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ac-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The journalist gains expertise on a particular topic, to identify a phenomenon that is not readily obvious. At its best, investigative journalism is deeply analytic, but its intent is primarily to expose. Analytic journalism's primary aim is to explain. It contextualizes its subject by describing background, historical details, and statistical data. The goal is a comprehensive explanation that shapes audience perception of the phenomenon. Analytic journalism aspires to collect disparate data and make connections that are not immediately apparent. Its effectiveness is often in the analysis between the facts rather than the facts themselves and is critically engaged with other arguments and explanations.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In this way, analytic journalists attempt to give a deeper understanding of an issue. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Material_for_analytic_journalists">Material for analytic journalists</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Analytic_journalism&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Material for analytic journalists"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Analytic journalists use <a href="/wiki/Critical_method" class="mw-redirect" title="Critical method">critical methods</a> to present information in a distinct way, differing from event-driven <a href="/wiki/Hard_news#Infotainment_versus_journalism" class="mw-redirect" title="Hard news">hard news</a>. This means testing hypotheses and assumptions scientifically against evidence. An important part of analytic journalism is finding new ways to <a href="/wiki/Framing_(social_sciences)" title="Framing (social sciences)">frame</a> the world. The result of this is to highlight previously overlooked points of view, substantiated by data or other evidence. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Additional_definitions">Additional definitions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Analytic_journalism&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Additional definitions"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>According to Adam and Clark<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Analytic journalists should retrieve and adapt methodologies from other disciplines to enlarge journalism so that it incorporates knowledge and methods generated by historians, social scientists, anthropologists, and critics. </p><p>The <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110802042214/http://analyticjournalism.blogharbor.com/blog">Institute of Analytic Journalism</a> employs a rather general definition and positions it within a critical approach: "critical thinking and analysis using a variety of intellectual tools and methods to understand multiple phenomena and to communicate the results of those insights to multiple audiences in a variety of ways."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A more pragmatic definition, suggested by Johnson, points out the necessary variables of analytic thinking: "Frame the appropriate question, find and retrieve appropriate data, use appropriate analytic tools, show what you know with story-appropriate media."<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> De Burgh compares analytic journalism with news reporting: "News reporting is descriptive and news reporters are admired when they describe in a manner that is accurate, explanatory, vivid or moving, regardless of medium. Analytic journalism, on the other hand, seeks to take the data available and reconfigure it, helping us to ask questions about the situation or statement or see it in a different way."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, de Burgh sees the role of analytic journalists as follows: "The duties if today’s journalist can be divided roughly into three basic functions: Hunter-gatherer of information, Filter, and Explainer. Only in our role as ‘explainer’, as storyteller, do journalists appear to have a reasonable secure position. To ‘explain’, they have to more than ‘report’… what a Prime minister or a general has to say."<sup id="cite_ref-ross_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ross-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="How_analytic_journalism_supplements_other_forms_of_journalism">How analytic journalism supplements other forms of journalism</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Analytic_journalism&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: How analytic journalism supplements other forms of journalism"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>While investigative journalism aims at exposing, analytic journalism aims at explaining. Following a trail of evidence, investigative journalism is more inclined to follow a particular guilty party, while analytic journalism is more inclined to follow that evidence to broaden understanding of the issue or phenomenon. Analytic journalism focuses on creating meaning out of information that may not be hidden but dispersed. </p><p>Analytic journalism incorporates different journalistic approaches, strategies, and genres.
