Communicating Statistics: Crossing the minefields of misinformation
 Facts and figures are coming at us fast every day, but ‘what’ or ‘who’ to trust: mainstream media, public figures and national institutions, or those random strangers in our social media feeds?
In the latest episode of Statistically Speaking we focus on the use of data in public discussion and debate.
Joining podcast host Miles Fletcher to guide us carefully through the minefields of misinformation are Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter, Chair of the Winton Centre for Risk Evidence Communication at the University of Cambridge; Ed Humpherson, Head of the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR); and award-winning data journalist and writer Simon Rogers, who is Data Editor at Google.
