'FiveThirtyEight,' NPR Announce Partnership
- FiveThirtyEight, Tuesday, November 3, 2015 8 AM
Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight will partner with NPR’s "On the Media" through the 2016 election. The central question they will be addressing: “How does the media narrative stack up against what we know to actually be true?” Combing through false narratives and looking at the involved relationship between politics and the media, the partnership offers an opportunity for in-depth analyses of how media affects campaigns. Nate Silver kick-started the relationship with a conversation with On the Media about whether increased media coverage results in higher poll numbers, or if success in the polls precedes rising media coverage.
