She also analyzes a Shorenstein Center survey of Republican and Democratic campaign operatives at the state and congressional levels, and finds that the respondents were not well prepared for cyber attacks.

Interestingly enough, these concepts are being taught simultaneously near Poynter’s offices, in Floridian schools, to fifth grade pupils (age 10-11), as the curriculum attests. That journalists need help in math topics normally covered before high school shows how far newsrooms are from being data literate. 1. What It Is And Why None of Us Have It.
