I'm a fan of data journalism too, but not everything can be done that way, and social sciences have lots of problems.
In particular, surveys are a cursed instrument. You aren't allowed to know what people were thinking when they filled out the survey a certain way.
I think there might be interesting ways to combine these. As part of doing a survey, maybe pick a few people at random and interview them to find out where they're coming from and why they answered the survey a certain way?
