Description: This paper explores the following: (1) the use of data by Bangladeshi dailies in terms of statistics and/or infographics in covering the National Election of 2018; (2) the role data journalism played in combating spread of misinformation during the said event. The study is exploratory and descriptive in design. To conduct the study, a mixed method approach has been adopted. Data have been gathered through quantitative and qualitative content analysis of news content published during the election (15 days before and after the election day) in two most widely reached dailies (Prothom Alo, a Bangla daily and The Daily Star, an English daily). Alongside, five in-depth interviews of journalists having experience of covering elections and one journalism faculty member with appropriate academic background have been conducted. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS and the qualitative data were studied through thematic analysis and discourse analysis.
