Members from the media and users engaged in PR
attended the seminar, ‘Statistics and the Media,’ on Monday 29 February.
The event, organised by NSO, was primarily intended to help users
familiarise with the statistical output of the office. In the
first part of the seminar, the major releases issued by the NSO were
reviewed and insight on their interpretation was provided. Reference was
made to the GDP, inflation, unemployment, poverty, population and
tourism among others. Light was also shed on the tools available on the
NSO website, such as: metadata, StatDB and StataMaps. The seminar also
served as a platform to discuss ways in which NSO’s products can be
enhanced.
