How to cooperate with the media An increasing number of NSOs are recognising the vital importance of effective news media relations.
Politicians are wary of statistics, which is a good thing.
This is why they often seek to suppress or manipulate them. Politicians unease about official statistics underlines their importance for the public good, but the public often finds them boring or difficult to understand. The media tend to reflect this attitude. Newspaper don t sell by boring people. This can make it easier for politicians to avoid publicity for difficult statistics.
