Free e-newsletter offers data insights

One of our favorite e-newsletters is issued occasionally by New Strategist Publications. Editor Cheryl Russell, who is also the editor-in-chief for New Strategist and a trained demographer, is one of the best at ferreting out the meaning behind the scads of numbers that the government and other organizations publish, often with little commentary. Ms. Russell comments on such issues as the true effect of the middle-aging of the baby boom on the social security system, or whether young people stand on political issues. Of course, the newsletter also carries tidbits of data from the reference books that New Strategist publishes as well as announcements of new books. But the highlight of each newsletter is Ms. Russell's analysis. Read it and you will often find yourself reading similar comments days later in the mainstream media.
