DQ News, What Happened?
What happened to Data Quality News? We found that, in terms of data and information quality, the American media are unreliable. We worried about the quality of information we were abstracting from media reports.We have at least a thousand abstracts related to data and information quality in our files that we haven't put on-line. We don't have the resources to investigate more than one media report each week. We don't know what deals publishers, editors, and reporters have made with the people and organizations they are writing about. It would cost us too much to try to find out. What you read in our abstracts is what the media published and what we've abstracted.
It is difficult - and time consuming - to obtain information about the quality of data in peer-reviewed journals. We found that those who publish scientific papers don't want to talk about the data they use to prove their hypotheses.
If there is a quick and easy way to determine the accuracy of media reporting, please tell us.....
