This article is really, very interesting: A fundamental way newspaper sites need to change. It's talking about the amount of ongoing data that gets collected by journalists, and then presented as a story. Maybe not ongoing, maybe similar. Like the Sydney Morning Herald seems to be doing shooting stories at the moment, so, you'd have a lot of data about shootings, where, what time of day, the circumstances, the people involved, etc if you had some way of collecting the stories together and tabulating the data.
Yum, yum, tabulated data.
What I'd really like is for the Herald to provide links to the data its quoting, or a link at least to the organisation that's put out the report. The BBC does it, the Guardian does it, so it'd be really nice if the Herald did as well.
