DEADLINE: Columbia Journalism School's Summer Investigative Reporting Course

Columbia Journalism School's Summer Investigative Reporting Course, July 7-25, 2025, is for journalists worldwide who report stories as well as editors who manage investigative projects or teams. Workshops focus on developing a major project but lessons are intended to be used by journalists in their everyday reporting. Beat reporters from all departments are encouraged to consider attending.

Fellows from every media platform – newspapers, magazines, television, radio, wire services and digital news outlets – are encouraged to apply. Participants annually come from nations around the world and cover topics ranging from politics and the environment to sports and the arts to local and international news.

University journalism educators who wish to teach investigative reporting may apply.

A strong competence in spoken and written English is required. This workshop is not for beginners.

Tuition is $7,500. This covers the cost of the course itself, as well as lunch on class days. It does not include travel, lodging, or other expenses associated with living in New York City for three full weeks.

Scholarships: The Reynolds Foundation, dedicated to fostering positive change and supporting initiatives across areas such as education, democracy, and individual freedom, is generously funding six (6) scholarships for the Summer 2025 Investigative Reporting Course. These scholarships are open to aspiring investigative reporters and editors living and working in Latin America—including Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean. Each scholarship covers full tuition and course fees, round-trip economy airfare to New York City, ground transportation, and lodging for the duration of the program.

Scholarship applications must be received by 11:59 pm (NYC) on May 15, 2025.
