| Computer-Assisted Reporting Boot Camps at the Missouri School of Journalism |  |
||
| CAR Boot Camps are on-campus seminars from
a Sunday afternoon to a Friday afternoon. They give journalists a jumpstart
in computer-assisted reporting techniques. Our regular boot camps are
scheduled about five times per year. These unique seminars train journalists to acquire electronic information, use spreadsheets and databases to analyze the information and to translate that information into high-impact stories. In addition, the institute provides follow-up help when participants return to their news organizations. |

Fellowships available: IRE and NICAR offer special fellowships
to the Computer-Assisted Reporting Boot Camps. The fellowships cover
tuition and most of travel and lodging costs. These fellowships are for
minority journalists and for journalists at small news organizations.
For application information, please visit our fellowships
page. NICAR is a joint program of IRE and the Missouri School of Journalism. |

“Great program! You expanded my thinking on what

these possibilities for fact-driven or number-driven journalism."
