Abstract: This half-day symposium brings together international researchers and practitioners in data journalism and urban datafication to discuss new potentials of journalism, citizen engagement and broader trends in civic communication practice. The goal is to mutually learn from practice and research about the strategies employed in data journalism and urban datafication about novel ways of mapping, understanding and reflecting on societal complexity. The talks will address current state of the art approaches to data journalism and different forms of citizen and audience engagement. This symposium is the closing event for the Infrapublics project, funded 2020-2024 by Aarhus University's Research Fund (AUFF Reg. No.  AUFF-F2020-7-11). Central outcomes of the project including a knowledge base for practitioners and students on emergent modes of civic communication will be presented (and launched) during the event. The event closes with a reception. Seats are limited. For questions, please contact Christoph Raetzsch (craetzsch@cc.au.dk).
