THE VALUE OF DATA
Orb is committed to producing global stories that are relevant to and resonate across our diverse human community.
In order to achieve that, we are advancing a new kind of journalism, one that brings together the insights gleaned from data analysis, the wisdom of the public, and on-the-ground reporting. For the Pure Plastic story, our data collection involved collecting samples of bottled water from major brands and testing that water in a lab for the presence of tiny pieces of plastics.
