The New York Times has launched The Upshot, a data-driven offering that provides analysis and visualizations about politics, policy and everyday life. Helmed by David Leonhardt, the site fills the apparent void left by Nate Silver and his FiveThirtyEight blog, which was previously hosted by the paper but relaunched in partnership with ESPN earlier this year. For more from The Upshot team, follow along on Facebook and Twitter.
