Infographics (and the Times...) trend towards informing the uninformed, 538 is strongly geared towards the already-savvy. I can't see a mix that doesn't dilute one or the other and it seems clear who will wear the pants if you will.
That said I'm happy for Nate and don't begrudge him one iota; I'm sad that I'll likely be losing a magnificent resource but it's his blood sweat and tears and it's his to do with as he pleases.
- jrockway 16y agoI'm not sure I agree. 538 is the only political blog I read, but I still feel like I understand everything that's discussed.
- frossie 16y agoI can't see a mix that doesn't dilute one or the other There's no reason to be pessimistic at this stage. Fivethirtyeight did some coverage of the UK election for The Guardian (major British newspaper) and it wasn't particularly diluted that I noticed.
