Making Sense of Data in the Media. Andrew Bell, Todd Hartman, Aneta Piekut, Alasdair Rae, Mark Taylor

The introduction brings a well-known truth: statistics are everywhere in the media. And yet, they are widely misunderstood or poorly reported. With this book, the authors particularly address the people who want to become journalists - so they know how to report data in the news in an effective and reasonable way. Also, it for those who read the news daily, frequently use the Internet or watch adverts. The authors believe that it is everyone’s responsibility to be able to understand but also to criticise the immense amount of data that nowadays is produced, captured and transmitted through the media and eventually thrown at us.
