Description
Numbers – data – are vital to our understanding of our society. But they don’t make sense in a vacuum. That’s where reporters – and journalism come into play
On the latest episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, we chat with investigative editor Brad Schmidt.
We talked about the past year of data-driven journalism Schmidt and others spearheaded – including detailed and illuminating stories on the use of roundup in parks, the number of marijuana stores per capita across the state and so many other topics.
We also talked about another initiative designed to quiz readers on their knowledge of the news.
