Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe data journalism practices on the TikTok account @riaupos and to identify the challenges encountered in implementing it as a form of data journalism. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Research data were collected through observation, documentation of several short video posts on the TikTok account @riaupos, and interviews. The data were analyzed using Paul Bradshaw’s data journalism model and Henry Jenkins’ theory of media convergence. The results indicate that data journalism practices on the TikTok account @riaupos involve processing data into short videos that combine visualization and narrative. Analysis of several pieces of content demonstrates the application of data journalism elements as defined by Paul Bradshaw. The primary challenges include difficulty obtaining data, a lengthy verification process, and a high workload. Additionally, Henry Jenkins’ media convergence theory is evident in multimedia integration, team collaboration, and cross-platform distribution.
