\"Fact<\/a><\/figure>\n\n

A year ago today, the Pew Research Center launched Fact Tank, our very own data\u00a0blog. Why? Because even though Pew Research publishes lots of reports, we still have a lot of data that are relevant to the things people are talking about in the news, online and with their friends, and we wanted to be a part of those conversations.<\/p>\n\n

But “data” as a blog theme is tricky to get a handle on. After all, pretty much anything these days can be data, from your Facebook “likes” and Twitter comments to your fitness logs and flight delays. We wondered if people who love data about politics would visit a blog that also examined\u00a0global affairs, U.S. demographics, religion, technology, journalism, economics and scores of other subjects through the prism of facts and figures. In other words, was there a big audience out there who loves data as much as we do?<\/p>\n\n

Twelve months\u00a0later, we\u2019re happy to say the answer is yes. That\u2019s you. Thanks for reading and engaging with us about data — our own and that of others. To mark the occasion and challenge our loyal readers, we’ve worked up a data quiz<\/a> to see how much you know about the facts shaping our world, drawn from the 900 or so posts<\/a> we’ve done since we launched.\u00a0Warning: It won’t be easy. But you will feel smarter afterward.\u00a0Take the quiz<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and share your score on Twitter with @FactTank<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
