Hi Laura,
have you looked into Wikidata?
There are quite a few examples like https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/the-occupations-of-people-i... or https://www.mysociety.org/2018/10/16/wikidata_and_congress/ or https://janakiev.com/blog/wikidata-mayors/ that go into your direction.

Dear Wikimedians,
I am working with closely with our Data Journalism course this terms at Boston University. I will be sharing some of my Wikipedia related lessons with them.
Using data to tell stories is a theme of this class. Have you used or know of examples of how people have used Wikipedia or data related to Wikimedia for data journalism?
Thank you in advance for any information you can share.
Sincerely, Laura
