Fresh Daily
It's tomorrow's news today. The Daily, Statistics Canada's official release bulletin, is the subject of this month's StatCan Blog article. The Daily was first published in 1932 as a typewritten one-page fact sheet; since then, it has grown into an authoritative online news source.
Media turn to it each day for all the latest data on a host of topics. The information they receive finds its way onto front pages across the country. But the audience doesn't end there. Academics, business, governments and the general public all tap into The Daily.
To make sure all those users are being well served, Statistics Canada is asking readers through surveys, focus groups and usability testing what they like best about The Daily and what can be done to make it even better.
Those consultations will then be translated into action to make The Daily, and the entire Statistics Canada website, a more dynamic and interactive experience.
