PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 12, 2013 - The New England Center for Investigative Reporting at Boston University has announced it is now accepting enrollments for its summer investigative reporting workshop. The investigative reporting workshop is aimed at high school students interested in pursuing a major or career in journalism. There will be three two-week sessions starting on July 1st, 2013. The workshop will be led by award winning investigative reporters, as well as Boston University staff.

The workshop is now entering its fourth year, and is expanding rapidly. From a start of 20 local students, the program had 70 students last year, from many states, as well as five different countries. This year is poised to have more applicants than ever.

Staff includes Joe Bergantino, a former I-Team reporter  and lead investigator for WBZ in Boston, and Maggie Mulvihill, a former Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.
