Columns and credits
Mostly, the creators remain anonymous
The people responsible for pulling together databases and links to other data mines are most often anonymous. We found only five news websites that identified their editors and provided any recognition to the database managers. Most often, that was coincident with links to columns or blogs those editors wrote about database topics. Three posted pictures and contact information. Three of the editors-content managers blogged about online information and/or wrote a regular column about data of current interest, such as sports statistics or unemployment data.
