The New England First Amendment Coalition will host its 15th annual investigative journalism institute [1] from Oct 24-26, 2025 at Boston University’s College of Communication.
Named after the late trail-blazing Boston Globe journalist, the Gloria L. Negri First Amendment Institute (formerly the New England First Amendment Institute) is an intensive training program on freedom of information law and investigative reporting techniques.
The Institute is offered each year tuition-free and exclusively to 25 working New England journalists. More than 350 journalists from 100 local news organizations have benefited from the program since it began in 2011.
A limited number of scholarships are available to cover hotel and travel expenses, if necessary to attend.
The deadline to apply is August 29, 2025.
