Data-Stories

Michael Levi
In 2024, Shomrim continued to prioritize
data-driven storytelling, recognizing its
power in cutting through the noise and making
complex issues more accessible. With over 100
data stories published this year, Shomrim
has used infographics, charts, and interactive
visualizations to communicate data-rich
insights with clarity, fostering a deeper
understanding of critical societal issues.
Understanding that in today’s fast-paced media
environment, compelling visual storytelling
is key to engagement, Shomrim is expanding
its efforts in interactive data journalism. By
integrating dynamic tools that allow readers to
explore the data for themselves, Shomrim aims
to deepen public understanding and drive greater
impact.
One testament to the growing influence
of Shomrim’s data-driven journalism is its
dedicated section on Mako, one of Israel’s leading
news websites. This collaboration ensures that
investigative data stories reach a broad audience,
reinforcing the importance of factual, evidence-
based reporting in shaping public discourse.
Moving forward, Shomrim remains committed
to strengthening this field—investing in new
technologies, expanding its data team, and pushing
the boundaries of interactive journalism to ensure
that clear, research-based facts continue to shape
Israel’s democratic landscape.
