Numbers, Facts and Trends Shaping Your World
Many hope that more transparency and data sharing will help journalists, make officials more accountable and improve decisions. But very few think agencies are doing a great job of providing useful data.
60 million Americans say that the internet helped them make big decisions or negotiate their way through major episodes in their lives.
Email has become an increasingly popular and potent tool for political communication in America.

Women surge online and are even more enthusiastic than men about the way email improves their connections and increases their communication with key family members and friends
