The BBC is running a series of articles on statistics and on how to spot flaws in media (and other) reports of statistical findings.
I’ve read lesson 1, but not the others, but it looks hopeful. I hope they apply these to their site’s editorial standards.
Hey, thanks so much for linking this! I’m teaching logic this semester, and will do some statistics & probability later in the semester, and I love having examples from the news.
