ABSTRACT
Numbers, numbers, numbers. There’s just no avoiding them, especially when you’re a journalist. Numbers aren’t just on the sports or financial pages. Whether you’re reporting on local tax rates, medical research reports, school district budgets, environmental impact reports, box-office receipts, or any other subject most journalists consider newsworthy, the odds are good that you’ll encounter numbers. And the odds are also good that you can tell the story better with the appropriate (and accurate) use of numbers.
