The news is being reconstructed amidst continuous changes in the digital age – by adjusting narrative and expressive modes to better adapt to the digital society and the news consumption habits of the audience. In China, data news has become a popular form of news and the narrative aspect of data journalism is increasingly receiving attention. My research focuses on the narrative features of data journalism in China. Based on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of data journalism narrative, I explore the narrative features, methods, and pathways in the field of data journalism in China.
