Exploring Relationships Between Journalism and Public Opinion

Journalists use public opinion data to ground stories in evidence, elevate public voices, and tell richer, more accurate stories—not just what happened, but how people feel about it—and why that matters. During this Roper Roundtable, accomplished journalists Ariel Edwards-Levy, Philip Bump, and Nathaniel Rakich shared their experiences using polling data in journalism and conducting analysis to make accurate statements about complicated social phenomena. The webinar included a question-and-answer session, allowing participants to engage directly with the presenters.
