15th Annual

Journalists from a variety of media and all six New England states will attend local workshops, view online lessons and receive in-person instruction at Boston University. They will learn the latest investigative and database reporting techniques and public records access skills. The fellows chosen for this 15th annual Negri Institute will reflect today’s diverse news media and come from daily and weekly newspapers, television and radio stations and online publications. Learn more about previous institutes here.
This year’s institute is made possible by the generosity of the Estate of Gloria L. Negri, Boston University, the Academy of New England Journalists and the Rhode Island Foundation. We would also like to thank the following Leadership Circle donors and Major Supporters for their contributions: The Boston Globe, Paul and Ann Sagan, The Robertson Foundation, Hearst Connecticut Media Group and WCVB-Boston.

Locations
In addition to local freedom of information law workshops, the Institute will be at Boston University and nearby venues from Oct. 24 to Oct. 26.
