Abstract

This project is part of the CEPID Neuromat's activity in the development of scientific dissemination activities. It proposes to experiment journalistic structured narratives potential from Wikidata database, in order to verify new possibilities for a science-journalism practice in the context of new digital media. Theoretically, it aims at deepening the current reflection on the concepts of Computational Journalism and structured narratives in the information ecosystem based on Big Data and the expansion of ICTs.
