RAVITCH FISCAL REPORTING PROGRAM

Applications Open for January Ravitch Program

The Ravitch Fiscal Reporting Program will hold its next fiscal reporting program the week of Jan. 4 with approximately 20 slots available with some additional slots available for New York City based reporters.

The five-day session will cover budgets, bonds, tax incentives, the impact of Washington policies on states and cities and housing. It also includes two workshops.

As always, there is no cost to attend and the program pays travel expenses, lodging and food costs. It does require approval of your editor and a commitment that you will not be assigned any work while attending.

The application is here. The deadline to apply is Sunday, Sept. 20.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The Ravitch Fiscal Reporting Program at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York  provides advanced training in state and local fiscal issues through week-long and three-day programs emphasizing in-depth knowledge of key controversies, overcoming reporting challenges and improving storytelling. It will help reporters stay on top of breaking issues through emails, social media, website, and by creating a network of reporters covering the beat. The Ravitch Program was originally funded by generous grants from Richard Ravitch, long-time New York civic leader, who died in 2023. It continues with generous grants from the Ravitch Foundation.
