Editors Institute

The Editors Institute is a new program that trains journalists from underrepresented backgrounds to become investigative editors. Its goals are threefold: To help emerging editors better compete for jobs as leaders in their newsrooms; help news outlets find highly skilled investigative editors at a time when such candidates are scarce; and help diversify a traditionally white, male- dominated field.
