Wòl done jounalis yo Et yo tou pwe Grann, explicatives jounalis yo, pa ta dwe fè pou limite discourse piblik, swa espre ou par peze de enfliyans, Men non pou ka louvri l. Sa vle di anpil moun la dèyè yo ak nan tout messiness politik ak politik yo. Punditry ki absan rigoureux evidans, dezyem prèv Et done pòv. Men, done Et evidans, dezyem prèv absan politik ak règleman kontèks pòv tou. Done jounalis, tankou nou demokrasi, rete yon travay pwosè.

The role of data journalists and their close cousins, explanatory journalists, should not be to limit public discourse, either intentionally or unintentionally by weight of influence, but rather to open it up. This means going beyond the numbers and into all the messiness of policy and politics. Punditry absent rigorous evidence and data is impoverished. But data and evidence absent political and policy context is impoverished too. Data journalism, like our democracies, remains a work in progress.
