Excellence in statistical reporting award
I missed this when it came out in early August. Alan Schwarz, of the New York Times, has won this year’s award for excellence in statistical reporting, from the American Statistical Association.
He’s probably best known for his reporting on concussion and brain injury in footballers, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2011. Similar issues are now being raised in rugby.
