Are you a student who could be the next great journalist, someone who writes with skill in the classroom or for the school newspaper or yearbook?

If so, we have a unique summer opportunity  in Boston.

The New England Center for Investigative Reporting, based at Boston University's College of Communication, is again offering the Investigative Journalism Workshop.

This program, now in its eighth year, is a perfect fit for your student who is interested in journalism, storytelling, or writing. Nearly 165 students from 31 states and 11 countries attended last summer's workshop, and we are expecting sessions to fill up quickly for 2017.

Our three two-week workshops begin on June 26 and run through August 4. During each session, students participate in seminars and work alongside veteran journalism teachers and award-winning local and national reporters on investigative stories that challenge students' critical thinking and research skills.

Students live on the BU campus and gain hands-on experience and personal networks to benefit them in college and beyond. They also enjoy supervised outings around the city such as a tour of baseball's Fenway Park, shopping on Newbury Street, and walking the historical Freedom Trail.
