IRE and NICAR offer intensive computer-assisted reporting (CAR) boot camps and training sessions in Columbia, Missouri throughout 2005, covering data analysis, mapping, and newsroom integration. Participants receive follow-up support to implement their skills at their news organizations.

Looking for intensive computer-assisted reporting training in the coming year?

There are four weeklong Boot Camps in Columbia, Mo., for journalists who want to learn how to acquire electronic information, use spreadsheets and databases to analyze the information, and to translate that information into high impact stories. IRE and NICAR provide follow-up help after participants return to their news organizations. The 2005 Boot Camps are Jan. 9-14, March 20-25, May 15-20 and Aug. 7-12.

Journalists interested in learning how to map data for news stories can take advantage of mini-Boot Camps in using geographic information systems (GIS). The training sessions are Jan. 14-16 and Aug. 19-21 in Columbia.

News managers interested in learning to better integrate CAR into their newsrooms can attend the April 8-10 mini-Boot Camp in Columbia.
