The Boot Camp Alumni list includes journalists and journalism educators and students who have attended IRE and NICAR's six-day Computer-Assisted Reporting Boot Camp sessions and/or one of the advanced sessions (including Mapping Data for News Stories seminars and statistics workshops). Therefore, the list represents a wide range of computer-assisted experience — from beginners to advanced practitioners.
