Abstract
This chapter discusses how Reach PLC, the BBC, and the Bureau (of Investigative Journalism) Local support local newsrooms to practice data reporting, and how collaboration plays a key part in making local data journalism viable. It also examines the contextual factors behind these practices and the challenges to their collaboration models’ sustainability. The empirical data used in this chapter derives from interviews with data journalists and editors at these three organisations as well as an analysis of related data stories. Acknowledging the success of the three collaboration models, this chapter highlights the sustainability challenges caused by their uncertain financial situations and local newsrooms’ varied levels of acceptance of data reporting and insufficient capacity to fully participate in collaboration.
