This article examines earlier formulations of the paradigm of Digital Database Journalism (DDBJ) to reflect about its increasing preponderance, pointing out expansions of the model in contemporary journalism. One of the most visible expansions upon which we focus is known as Data-Driven Journalism, which we consider one of the approaches of DDBJ, since it lies within the scope of the DDBJ concept. From the theoretical framework and mapping of empirical examples, we infer that the new expansions of DDBJ materialize mainly modes of narration, of composing informative essays, of varied content formats, and of presenting journalistic information. Thus, it is possible to indicate the shaping of dynamic interactive hypernarratives or narratives, of a complex aspect, which are also in tune with so-called database aesthetics.
