Pure descriptive work seems to be relatively low status in social sciences. People do it. But the incentives point in the opposite direction and it usually isn't the most "interesting" part of high fliers' career. By contrast, it's the traditional core of journalism. — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting change in media over the course of my career has been more interpenetration between academia and journalism, mediated first by blogs and now by twitter. This is mostly change for the better, but I do think it features some bugs related to different values. — PolitiTweet.org

"Did it in fact get easier or harder to vote in State X?" is, I think, a question that would be considered kind of boring as a political science research problem. These are the kind of questions we journalists need to answer ourselves rather than outsourcing to datasets. — PolitiTweet.org
