Financial journalists can attend a free workshop in Boston.

The Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism presents "Follow the Money - Tracking Companies’ Influence on Politics."

Participants will learn how to track a company's efforts at political influence from two experts - New York Times reporter Ron Nixon and Sunlight Foundation editorial director Bill Allison.

Topics include campaign contributions and lobbying expenditures by companies at the state and federal level, connecting company spending on candidates or lobbying to legislative or regulatory actions and corporate contributions to independent groups.

The webinar will be held June 13, the afternoon before the Investigative Reporters and Editors Conference in Boston.
