The National Press Foundation will offer a free online training program for 25 journalists to help them track how federal pandemic assistance funds are being used. The training will be held for two hours per day from July 13-17 (10 hours total).
Fellows will hear from a range of experts in public finance and journalism – people such as Philip Mattera, whose organization Good Jobs First has built a database of recipients of COVID-19 stimulus money, to legendary investigative reporter James B. Steele, who during his career has won two Pulitzer Prizes, two National Magazine Awards and five George Polk Awards. In addition to the sessions with expert speakers, NPF has lined up eight data scientists to serve as confidential coaches who can help journalists bring their investigative stories to successful publication.
Support for this training is provided by the Evelyn Y. Davis Foundation. NPF retains sole responsibility for programming and content.
