So this story is at least 3 years old but I can't think of a cuter example....

This story was produced in our data journalism class here in our newsroom (ABS-CBN News) in the Philippines and I understand why our instructors lauded it. More than showing declining marriage data, the reporter looked for case studies and talking heads to illustrate the problem. The data, in a way, could be said to have enhanced the story, but it wasn't a bare-bones numbers story that people wouldn't know how to deal with. IT isn't earth-shattering or something that would induce the government to act; it's a feature story made more substantial with the use of data without losing its entertainment or 'tickle' value.
