Description

OpenSecrets has assembled a suite of research tools for journalists who cover government and elected officials. They enable journalists to identify and trace the influence of money in politics. Unfortunately, many local journalists don’t know about the tools, how best to use them, and how to combine them to support complex investigations. OpenSecrets proposes to offer on-line training and on-going support to local journalists during this election year. The training curriculum will comprise six sessions and be supplemented by a helpdesk and on-demand explainer videos.
