Digital Politics With Karen Jagoda

Richard Coffin is the Chief Product Officer at USAFacts which is making government data available and understandable for a larger audience.  With the growth of fake news, this non-partisan, non-profit organization serves as a trusted source for Americans giving them access to the data and analysis generated by a wide range of government agencies. We talk about * The USAFacts Third Annual State of the Union in Numbers report which includes a variety of data points about the impact of COVID on categories including population growth, crime, inflation, and employment * What questions still need to be asked and what are people  asking about that is not available * Challenges of getting timely data from State and local government agencies and who is still using paper documents and static PDF files * Innovations for gathering more data faster and finding the best dataset to address a question @USAFacts  #StateoftheUnion #SOTU #COVID #COVIDImpact #GovernmentData USAFacts.org
