Investigative Reporting Workshop for College Students
Clearly I graduated too early. I can’t apply for this class, but maybe you or someone you know can.
Seventy-five students from around the country will be selected to receive full scholarships to participate in the Campus Coverage Project.
You’ll learn how to:
- Use the Internet as an investigative reporting tool.
- Read budget documents and find the stories that matter.
- Prepare for tough interviews and come away with the information you need.
- Analyze your school’s performance to see how it measures up.
- Examine athletic programs—and their funding.
- Use legal tools to pry open foundations, auxiliaries and other secretive campus institutions.
- Examine issues on your campus in the context of national debates on higher education.
Qualified students are those with experience reporting for campus-related news outlets who have at least one year of coursework remaining.
Apply by Oct. 12, 2009 for a full scholarship to attend a three-day Campus Investigative Reporting Workshop and participate in a year-long program that offers ongoing training and opportunities to learn from top reporters from throughout the country. Space is limited.
