Abstract:

[Abstract]  Based on the content analysis of the winners of the Global Data Journalism Awards from 2014
to 2018, the study summarizes the interactive narrative features and strategies of data journalism around the
world to provide advice and guidance for the interactive narrative practice of data journalism. The research
found that the theme of data journalism is mainly in the public domain of the society. More and more works
combined with static charts, information maps, timelines, interactive maps, interactive forms, animations,
videos, audio and many other forms. More than 80% of works are between low-level interactive and
intermediate-level interactive. On this basis, it proposes three kinds of interactive narrative modes of data
news:the main clue guidance mode, the intermittent transition mode and the multi-threaded trigger mode.
It is pointed out that although the interactive narrative of data journalism still implies the author' s preset
narrative clues and structural paths, interactive narratives provides readers with the possibility to participate in
the construction of meaning in data journalism.
