Making Data Meaningful Guides
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe has been releasing a series of guides about communicating with statistics and part 3 is now out:
Communicating with the media (PDF) – a practical tool for producers of statistics find the best way to get their message across and to communicate effectively with the media.
The Making Data Meaningful guides are intended as a practical tool to help managers, statisticians and media relations officers in statistical organisations use text, tables, charts, maps and other devices to bring statistics to life for non-statisticians.
Earlier editions are below:
- Part 1: A guide to writing stories about numbers (PDF)
- Part 2: A guide to presenting statistics (PDF)
The thorough guides are excellent practical primers and the latest one features quite a bit of social media applications.
Thanks to our colleague Peter Davis for pointing out this resource set.
