#259: Dateline Data
Update: 2024-11-26
Description
There's data, data everywhere, including in the media! Data often gets collected, analyzed, published in a study, covered by a journalist, and then distilled down to a headline. The opportunities for lost-in-translation (or lost-in-simplification? Lost-in-summarization?) misfires are many. We tried an experiment—each of the available co-hosts brought some headlines that made them raise an eyebrow, and we tested our own data literacy (data skepticism) with a real-time review. The parallels to the day-to-day work of an analyst were many! For complete show notes, including links to items mentioned in this episode and a transcript of the show, visit the show page.
