Investigative Reporters and Editors

Over the last 50 years, Investigative Reporters & Editors has brought together journalists to share story ideas, newsgathering techniques and best practices. We've hosted dozens of national conferences, trained thousands of journalists, and collected an archive of 35,000+ reporting resources. But our story's just getting started — and we need your help to keep going. IRE relies on the generous support of sponsors and donors to provide vital training and mentorship to journalists around the world. If you would like to see us advance our mission, please consider making a donation to our end-of-year giving campaign. Our goal is to raise $50,000 before the start of 2025. Will you help us get there? ?? Make a contribution now, or encourage a loved one to make a donation in your name: https://lnkd.in/gcs59N3P ???
