Awards for statistical excellence in journalism

The Royal Statistical Society wishes to encourage excellence in journalists’ use of statistics to question, analyse and investigate the issues that affect society at large. Journalistic excellence in statistics helps citizens to hold decision makers in all sectors to account – through accessible communication of complex information, highlighting of success, and exposure of important missing information.
 
To recognise and celebrate statistical excellence in journalism, in 2007 the Royal Statistical Society inaugurated annual awards to journalists working in print, online and broadcast media in the United Kingdom and/or the Republic of Ireland.
