IRE Minority Journalist Development Program A partnership of IRE and newsrooms across the country. Click here to see this year's winners. In an effort to improve the training opportunities for minority journalists -- and increase the diversity at our Annual Conference -- IRE has entered into a partnership with news organizations interested in offering useful, practical training to reporters and editors typically underrepresented in the top ranks of newsrooms. As part of the fellowship program, IRE is waiving conference fees and providing year-long memberships to these designated fellows, while the sponsoring newsrooms cover travel costs. Newsrooms interested in working with IRE in this program should send an e-mail to fellows@ire.org. Sponsoring Newsrooms Newsrooms partnering with IRE, so far: Arizona Daily Star The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer Chattanooga Times Free Press Richmond Times-Dispatch The Augusta Chronicle The (Memphis) Commercial Appeal The Daytona Beach News-Journal The Tuscaloosa News Birmingham Post-Herald WVTM-Birmingham WAPT-Jackson, Miss. WKMG-Orlando There also will be a limited number of minority and small news organization fellowships available for the June 2004 IRE Annual Conference in Atlanta.
