One of them is data journalism, which is already widely used in Western developed countries. Data journalism is an increasing form of investigative journalism. However, its implementation to the Azerbaijani media system is somewhat weak. At present, the traditional part of the Azerbaijani media rarely uses data applications. In contrast, new media organizations are increasingly using data journalism. Since the development of each field depends on its education, this article will discuss the nature of data journalism education in universities and the education level of data journalism in Azerbaijan, more precisely problems and perpectives. Generally, as a crucial field of media data journalism education appears to be a very young discipline in our country. Even in the journalism faculties of many universities, data journalism is not included in the curriculum. So far, digital journalism has been included in the curriculum of only two universities in Azerbaijan, namely ADA University and Baku State University. Although the audience is interested in this field, data journalism is not even taught as an elective in the other two educational institutions. In different years, different courses and organizations have conducted trainings and seminars on the promotion of data journalism.

For this, the curricula of four educational institutions were considered, their thematic plans were considered. As a completely new field, data-driven journalism in various universities and educational centers in some parts of the world is at a high level, in others it is at a low level. Some countries lack academically trained faculty with data analysis, coding and data visualization skills to run these interdisciplinary programs in the higher education sector. However, this direction has already begun to develop. At the beginning of the article, the essence of data journalism in general is explained, and the areas of its application are specified. In parallel, the level of teaching data journalism in many well-known universities in the world was analyzed. As a method of analysis, interviews were held with 3rd year students of Baku State University, and a survey was conducted for this group. At the same time, an interview was presented with a professor at the Department of Multimedia, who teaches data journalism at BSU, on a topical issue. It was concluded that data journalism is poorly applied both in the education system and in the media system in Azerbaijan. Thus, some data visualization is used in Azerbaijani online media. However, it is still underrepresented in traditional media. In addition, only two out of four higher education institutions specializing in journalism teach data journalism at the undergraduate and graduate levels as a required subject. Data journalism is also not taught as an elective in other schools. However, in the near future, within the framework of investigative journalism, it is planned to expand both the teaching of this area and its use in the media.

Here is researched the Azerbaijani internet media outlets activity, some challenges and progress, made survey related to audience`s interest about that. Social media, a branch of the Internet, is less used in data journalism because it is more operative and concise. Because it takes time to collect the data, visualize it and turn it into a story. Irrespective of that, Azerbaijani social media outlets such as Modern.az, Qafqaz.info, Report.az, BBC Azerbaycanca, Sputnik.az, Telegraph.com and etc. make a great effort to use data driven journalism trend. The majority of them are made by an editorial department to create info graphics, pie chart, and other visualizations tools.
