At SXSW, ESPN revealed that the new version of Nate Silver’s FiveThirtyEight blog will launch March 17. Nate Silver moved from The New York Times last July and the statistical journalist is known for his accuracy in predicting presidential elections. Despite being owned by ESPN, the site will cover more than just sports. The site will cover sports, politics, education, entertainment, and more. Evidence of this was Nate Silver’s recent appearance on ABC News in which he talked about statistical trends at the Oscars.
