High School Summer Investigative Reporting Workshop

The New England Center for Investigative Reporting's High School Summer Investigative Reporting Workshop is an exciting journalism opportunity for students. The program is a two-week intensive designed for both U.S. and international high school students who are interested in learning and honing writing, journalism, and investigative reporting skills. The students get hands-on education and insight from our award-winning faculty, spend the summer learning new and valuable journalism skills, and explore the city of Boston while staying on Boston University's campus. We are currently accepting applications for our three 2015 workshop sessions!

Highlights from a sample day at the workshop include the following:

Anatomy of a story: How to start building your story

How to background someone: How to research everything about a person in order to expand your story

Writing a feature or profile about a fellow student: Learn how to create a profile story

Investigative Story Lab: Time for students to work on their own investigative stories that they'll develop over the course of their workshop
