Abstract
The goal of this study was to figure out how journalists who work with data select a dataset to work on and what makes them make those decisions. It turned out a data selection could be a complicated process. At least seven factors were at play. They were the availability of raw data, quality of data, expert opinion, fellow journalists, time, cost of data and background and experience. This study points out a direction of finding useful data and provides a great opportunity for journalists to review their process of data selections.
