The 2016 presidential election left some people questioning polls. How are these polls made? Who’s left out of them? How do you identify quality information?
In this week’s Public Newsroom former New York Times News Survey Editor Marjorie Connelly will break down the art of polling.
Connelly, who is now a Senior Fellow with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, will go through polling basics and workshop reporting on quality polls with attendees. Participants will go through a series of activities to discern quality information.
