Well said in many ways; however, it isn't clear that having more statistics savvy journalists would address the problems associated with media economics and incentives.
- lbriner 4y agoAgree. How well-trained would a journalist need to be in order to effectively analyze something that has probably taken several years of effort. Lots of numbers != good interpretations and little data != bad conclusion. But agree with OP that in a world that is becoming less and less trusting of authority (to a dangerous extreme) that it would be nice for those in authority to have enough humility to accept when their work is questioned.
