Announcement

Type Investigations Announces a New Initiative for Incarcerated Reporters

The Inside/Out Journalism Project works with incarcerated reporters to produce feature-length investigations. The launch was amplified by industry leaders across the country including Columbia Journalism Review, Nieman Lab, and Reuters Institute. The initiative will produce rigorous investigative coverage of the criminal legal system in the coming year from a vantage point not typically represented in mainstream media.

Editors Institute

Typewriter Keys

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.
