Andy Kohut, a rare Washington figure - The Washington Post
Keywords:
At a time when ideas are held with passionate conviction, Andy Kohut kept a remarkable self-discipline in phrasing his questions for polls so as to hear clearly what people were thinking. He followed and loved a robust debate and saw his job as presenting the facts. The Pew Research Center's credibility has been enhanced by Andy Kohut's leadership. He led the Gallup polling organization for many years before becoming founding director of the Pew Research Center. At a time when more than ever we need to hear what is on people's minds, and provide a glimpse of this that goes beyond the passion and political spin in the news story, the work of Kohut is sorely missed.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
