Working for a society in which our lives and choices are enriched by an understanding of statistics


 
 
 
 

 

Working with journalists to report statistics well can help millions of people to be better informed...

We are expanding our existing activities with journalists across all media to develop their awareness of the benefits of statistics, their confident use and knowledge of good sources of data, and when to seek advice.



Workshops for journalists

The RSS's workshops for journalists help them explain the basic statistical issues in a way that the general public can easily understand.

Coordinating science training

Statistics lies at the heart of science - working with the Science Media Centre, and funded by a government grant, the RSS is hosting the national coordinator for science journalism training

Recognising excellence

The RSS's awards for statistical excellence in journalism spotlight the best in using and reporting statistics


 

The BBC College of Journalism videoed our most recent workshop for journalists. Here, David Spiegelhalter discusses whether or not some health stories are coincidental.
