The purpose of the Alliance for Useful Evidence

Abdool Kara looks at the latest project by Nesta, the Economic and Social Research Council and the Big Lottery Fund.

I have been enjoying the latest TV show, The Newsroom, from screenwriter Aaron Sorkin. While not especially loved by the critics, to my mind, the show offers a great slice of TV escapism – not quite up to his West Wing zenith, but highly watchable, nonetheless.

It concerns a TV newsroom presenter, Will McAvoy, who sets out to change the way news is presented. No longer will who is marrying/divorcing/cheating on whom be covered.
