About the New England First Amendment Institute

Journalists from a variety of media and all six New England states will gather in Dedham, Mass., Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 to learn the latest investigative and database reporting techniques and public records access skills.

The fellows chosen for this, the New England First Amendment Coalition’s third annual Institute, reflect today’s diverse news media and come from daily and weekly newspapers, television and radio stations and online publications.

“The interest shown in joining this year’s class was very gratifying,” said Rosanna Cavanagh, NEFAC’s executive director. “The strength of the candidates made the selection process very difficult. They and their organizations feel strongly about the mission NEFAC was created to advance — the people’s right to know that their elected and appointed officials are honoring the public’s trust.”
