Stephen K. Doig is a professor of journalism, specializing in computer-assisted reporting, at Arizona State University, and also a consultant to print and broadcast news media with regard to questions having to do with the same. Doig began his career as a journalism professor in 1996, after having worked for 23 years as a journalist, 19 of them for the Miami Herald. As of 2010, Doig taught classes in precision journalism, reporting public affairs, news writing, multimedia journalism, introduction to statistics, and media research methods.
Doig pioneered reporters' engaging in computer-assisted analysis while working at the Miami Herald. For example, with concern property damage inflicted in South Florida by Hurricane Andrew in 1993, Doig, who was research editor at the newspaper, headed a team whose analyses of local government building records and of data about storm data showed that it was the newer structures that were more likely to have been damaged by the storm, arguing that easing of zoning, inspection, and building codes had been culpable in increasing storm losses. Doig's 16-page article on the research was instrumental in the paper's being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 1993.[1][2]
Doig's analysis of voting patterns in Florida in led him to believe that had there been no errors in vote counting in Florida during the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Democratic Party candidate Al Gore would have won the state's electoral votes instead of Republican Party candidate, and, thereby, the ultimate winner of the U.S. Presidency, George W. Bush.[3]
