Database journalism or structured journalism is a principle in information management whereby news content is organized around structured pieces of data, as opposed to news stories. See also

Communication scholar Wiebke Loosen defines database journalism as "supplying databases with raw material - articles, photos and other content - by using medium-agnostic publishing systems and then making it available for different devices."

Some argue that such organization allows for a more efficient workflow. Reginald Chua, Editor of data and innovation at Thomson Reuters, talk of structured journalism as a means to "maximize the shelf-life of news content" and "extracting more value" out of content.
