Money in Politics: Following the money trail in 2008 elections Return to IRE Training These workshops are being made possible in part by a grant from Carnegie Corporation of New York. At these one day workshops, learn how to follow the money and its influence after the election. The workshops will emphasize money in local and state elections on the horizon, including the impact of 527 organizations at those levels. Optional Computer-Assisted Reporting Training will be offered the second half-day. This hands-on, computer-assisted reporting class will build data analysis skills for reporters covering money in politics.
