IRE Money in Politics Workshop Materials
April 5th, 2007 | Published in IRE
A few weekends ago Aron Pilhofer of the New York Times and I led a workshop on covering money in politics at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill. We’re still polishing our presentations (we’ve got more of these workshops coming up), but here are links to two PDFs on dealing with electronic filings from the Federal Election Commission (part 1/part 2). More to come.
Update: a zip file with our full presentations is now available.
Second Update: Step-by-step instructions for working with FEC electronic filings using Excel.
