AAPOR Launches Journalist Education Partnership with Poynter

AAPOR is proud to announce the launch of Part One of our journalist education program developed in partnership with the Poynter Institute's prestigious News University (NewsU), which is funded by a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. "Understanding and Interpreting Polls" is a free, interactive course that will help journalists tell the legitimate numbers from the sloppy surveys, as well as effectively evaluate polling methods.  And it is the first of several courses AAPOR is developing in partnership with the Poynter Institute as we gear up for the 2008 presidential election.

We will be adding new sections to this course in the coming months overing topics such as:  assessing horserace numbers and likely voters screens; methodological issues in polling including cell-phones, automatic dialers, and survey non response; and how to write about and interpret poll results.
