CNN’s Harry Enten: Data for TV

Harry Enten (@forecasterenten on Twitter) is one of the most-high-profile data journalists in the world. He explains the numbers every day on CNN – whether it’s election polling, sports or even his original passion: meterology, specifically snowstorms.

“I definitely see myself as a storyteller,” says Enten and he chats with Alberto and Simon about his approach to making the numbers understandable for a TV audience, which charts work (and which don’t), as well as who is in his head each time he presents.

They also discuss polling and how to report on the nuances of surveys.
