Summary, etc | <br/>From the quality of the air we breathe to the national leaders we choose, data and statistics are a pervasive feature of daily life and daily news. But how do news, numbers and public opinion interact with each other – and with what impacts on society at large?<br/><br/>Featuring an international roster of established and emerging scholars, this book is the first comprehensive collection of research into the little understood processes underpinning the uses/misuses of statistical information in journalism and their socio-psychological and political effects. Moving beyond the hype around “data journalism," News, Numbers and Public Opinion delves into a range of more latent, fundamental questions such as:<br/><br/>· Is it true that most citizens and journalists do not have the necessary skills and resources to critically process and assess numbers?<br/><br/>· How do/should journalists make sense of the increasingly data-driven world?<br/><br/>· What strategies, formats and frames do journalists use to gather and represent different types of statistical data in their stories?<br/><br/>· What are the socio-psychological and political effects of such data gathering and representation routines, formats and frames on the way people acquire knowledge and form attitudes?<br/><br/>· What skills and resources do journalists and publics need to deal effectively with the influx of numbers into in daily work and life – and how can newsrooms and journalism schools meet that need?<br/><br/>The book is a must-read for not only journalists, journalism and media scholars, statisticians and data scientists but also anybody interested in the interplay between journalism, statistics and society |
