For this specific job I’d like you to quote for updating this roundup of blindness statistics currently published on my laser eye surgery site: https://www.lasereyesurgeryhub.co.uk/blindness-statistics/
It was published 2 years ago so I’d like to update it with the most recent statistics and also add more data sources with multiple categories / timeframes which can be converted to charts. The aim is to have it looking more like these 2 statistic round-up which are published on another site I own:
The charts and layout will be assigned to someone else. Your job will be doing the research, saving all relevant data into Google sheets / Google Docs and writing the content in the final article.
As shown in the two examples above and in the screenshots attached, the type of information that needs to be researched (in order of preference):
- Data sets that I can use to create bespoke charts or tables - Single data points that can be added in its own box or in a sentence - Quotes
Skills Required
- Experience carrying out extensive online research to find the most authoritative data and statistics in each category / sub category. - Ability to judge which source to use when presented with multiple data sources on the same topic (i.e. which is more trustworthy based on sample size, methodology etc). - An journalistic eye for understanding what data is more pertinent / interesting and which should not make the final cut. - An ability to see opportunities to combine two data sets in order to illustrate a new perspective or clearly demonstrate relationships that may have not been shown in chart form before. - Attention to detail so errors in original sources or data saved can be spotted quickly. - The ability to communicate clearly and concisely in writing in order to produce an authoritative and engaging commentary on the data found.
It would also be a bonus (but not required) if you have experience working on producing reports like this and having input on layout & charts types.
Working well on this Blindness Statistics one will lead to more jobs of a similar type - mainly producing data on business related topics.
