[ddj] Election shows data illiteracy is a problem for journalists

[Hanna McLean]

Hey everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend :) To start your week off right you may
want to check out this
article<http://www.knightdigitalmediacenter.org/blogs/agahran/2012/11/election-shows-data-illiteracy-problem-journalists>from
the Knight Digital Media Center that discusses the sharp contrast
between Nate Silver-style data-focused reporting and traditional election
coverage and how it highlights a growing problem in journalism: data
illiteracy.

Happy reading!

Cheers,
Hanna
