Mark Lukasiewicz, dean of The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication, talked to the Associated Press about efforts by the news media to show transparency when reporting election results.



“It’s absolutely important for an organization to be as transparent as they can be, especially because there’s been an effort to challenge the credibility of calls,” said Dean Lukasiewicz. At the same time, it’s hard to do in a way that makes sense to people who are not statisticians or systems operation experts, he said.
