Data journalism has emerged as a trend that deserves the attention of media around the world. Data journalism is a genre of journalism as a result of collaborative disciplines of journalism, statistics, graphic design and computers. This journalism innovation has been adopted by international online media since 2010 and has now begun to be adopted by Indonesian online media.
