Morris who joins ABC from The Economist, will lead data journalism for the division, including FiveThirtyEight.
Morris, most recently a data journalist and correspondent for The Economist, will report to ABC News VP of digital Lulu Chiang. He will be based in Washington D.C.
While ABC News kept the FiveThirtyEight brand after Nate Silver’s departure, Silver retained the rights to many of his data forecasting models. Morris will be tasked with developing new models that can replace the ones Silver is taking with him to whatever venture he pursues next.I am pleased to share that G. Elliott Morris will be the editorial director of data analytics for ABC News, which includes FiveThirtyEight. Elliott starts on June 26 and will be based in Washington, D.C.
Elliott will lead our data journalism efforts for ABC News and FiveThirtyEight, including launching a full suite of poll-aggregation and election-forecasting models for U.S. elections to be used across broadcast, streaming and digital.
Elliott is an experienced data-driven journalist. He previously worked as a senior data journalist and U.S. correspondent for The Economist, covering American politics, public opinion polling, demographics and elections. He was the lead developer of The Economist’s election forecasting models for U.S. presidential and foreign elections. From 2020 to 2023, he wrote a data column for the paper’s weekly “Checks and Balance” newsletter on U.S. politics.
With Elliott leading the talented data journalism team at ABC News and FiveThirtyEight, I look forward to the robust analysis of this current election cycle and the evolution of polling data at ABC News.
