Thanks to a generous grant from the McCormick Foundation, INN can help members deal with legal threats, and the costs associated with defending against them.
The McCormick Foundation awarded INN a $75,000 grant to support its vital work. The grant is administered by INN member Center for Public Integrity.
About 20 reporters from around the country gathered in Missoula, Montana, last week to learn how to track contributions in state elections, spot patterns and find stories among the data.
The Investigative News Network is pleased to announce that it has received a two-year $225,000 grant from the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. This two-year grant will be used for joint reporting projects and support services for INN’s growing network of 60-members
The funds will also finance a second training seminar for INN members in partnership with the Center for Investigative Reporting. The seminar will be held April 2012 in Berkeley, Calif., prior to the annual Logan Symposium on Investigative Reporting. "We are very grateful to the McCormick Foundation for their continued support of our consortium," said Kevin Davis, CEO and Executive Director of INN. "Thanks to this generous grant, INN can increase the level and impact of the editorial collaborations across the Network, while increasing the business capabilities of our member organizations. The grant is part of the nearly $5 million in McCormick funding approved for 22 organizations dedicated to news literacy, press freedoms and excellence in journalism over the course of the next two years.
Twenty four journalists participated in a "Follow the Money" training, funded by the McCormick Foundation. The workshop was organized and hosted by The New England Center for Investigative Reporting.
