Numbers of the Year Part One
The numbers that made 2018.
Russian Trolls, a president鈥檚 false claims and the amount of Nigerian households that don鈥檛 have access to clean drinking water; these all feature in this first instalment of our numbers of the year. We speak to Ben Nimmo, information defence fellow at Atlantic Council鈥檚 Digital Defence Lab, Heather Long, the economics correspondent at the Washington Post and Allwell Okpi, researcher and journalist with Africa Check about why they鈥檝e chosen these numbers and why they matter.
