Talking about data journalism means talking about data visualization with charts and infographics. Data visualization combined with journalistic analysis capabilities in data journalism works is attractive compared to conventional articles. Data visualization is one of the media's reporting tools capable of turning huge volumes of data into graphic images on any information topic of public interest. It can not only serve as a supplement but can also stand alone as a complete article. Data visualization is a product of creativity, expressing the visual view of its designer. This factor requires graphic designers to have not only journalistic expertise but also technical and artistic qualities. Data visualizations often promote more brainstorming because they appeal to both the visual and cognitive hemispheres. The impression of data visualization in journalism is that it integrates many forms of information transmission from images, numbers, and text, to audio, comments, and video. This helps to convey information quickly and neatly to help readers visualize the message more easily. From 10 years of experience in journalism, especially in online journalism, the authors provide a case study that makes it clear that the influence of data visualization on journalism has drastically changed the way stories are told in modern journalism. This article will help readers realize the important role data plays in journalism and understand how to build data-driven content. Journalists will use learning how to build news articles based on facts and case studies to visualize data in the news.
