Statistical Assessment Service
Journalists doing statistics? These folks are watching us. The Statistical Assessment Service (STATS) is a non-partisan, non-profit research organization in Washington, D.C. It receives more funding from conservative groups than liberal ones, but says it strives to hew to the accurate use of scientific and social research in public policy debate. "STATS serves as a resource for journalists by providing timely and well-researched analysis of current statistical and scientific disputes. Since STATS seeks to weed out bad data and research before it enters the media stream, we field queries from journalists on a regular basis."
