Data journalism at the 
Guardian
George Arnett (data reporter, the Guardian)
• “Data without humanity is meaningless”
• Data-driven journalism, not just data
• Adding value with our reporting:
• Analysis
• Relevance
• Originality
• Humour
• New formats and presentation styles



• A long and difficult search for just 27 data points!
