Why Accessing Reliable, Unbiased Data in America Is So Challenging: A Conversation with USAFacts President Poppy MacDonald

USAFacts President, Poppy MacDonald, discusses their mission to provide solid, unbiased facts about the United States that are rooted in data. USAFacts is a nonprofit, founded by Steve Ballmer, who assembled a small team of economists, writers, and researchers to help comb through government data. Poppy MacDonald discusses how this data can then be used to shape policy, to inform constituents, and even, to strengthen our democracy.

This episode was made possible with a grant from the MacArthur Foundation through URL Media.
