- Description
- Most media practitioners would agree that numeracy - a basic competence with numbers - is an essential skill in modern journalism. Without it, we can't fully understand the world we live in, or explain and interpret it for our audiences. Virtually every aspect of life these days is quanti-fied or measured by statistical or numerological data. Yet new research indicates that South African journalists are error-prone when it comes to numbers.
