Exploring Relationships Between Journalism and Public Opinion
Join the campus viewing party and enjoy refreshments while watching this livestreamed Roper Roundtable in 291 Clark Hall!
Journalists use public opinion data to ground stories in evidence, elevate public voices, and tell richer, more accurate stories—not just what happened, but how people feel about it—and why that matters.
During this Roper Roundtable, accomplished journalists Ariel Edwards-Levy, Philip Bump, and Nathaniel Rakich will share their experiences using polling data in journalism and conducting analysis to make accurate statements about complicated social phenomena. The webinar will include a question-and-answer session to allow participants to engage directly with the presenters.
This roundtable is co-sponsored by the Cornell Jeb E. Brooks School of Public Policy, the Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics at the University of Pennsylvania, the Journalist’s Resource, and Marist Poll.
