| "By far the most practical, useful training I
have ever received at a journalism conference - and I've been to at
least a dozen." - Rebecca Waddingham, Greeley (Colorado) Daily Tribune "Hands down the best journalism conference I've ever attended.
I always return to the newsroom all jazzed up about story ideas
for myself and colleagues." "This year's conference was the best I have attended. I was
extremely pleased with what I learned and the social events were
outstanding. Hats off to the Denver organizers." "Once again, I watched, listened and learned. This was fantastic!
The seminars were terrific and hearing reporters throughout the
country talk about their work and communities energized me to take
on the next big story." "The conference exceeded my expectations. Most of the speakers
were outstanding and all the seminars were informative. Hats off." "I came away from this year's conference inspired, encouraged
and a bit humbled by the people I listened to and met. At a time
when journalism has been suffering its share of bruises and scars,
it was important to see that investigative journalism is still alive
and well. On top of that, I learned some new skills and techniques
that will help me perform my job more effectively." "One of the best conferences for broadcasters in recent years.
Came away with a dozen ideas for stories to pursue in my own market.
Feeling re-inspired by the quality of work produced by members." "IRE conferences and workshops offer the best training out
there, bar none. All journalists can benefit from IRE's high-caliber
speakers and hands-on advice." "I came back from IRE inspired and ready to work harder than
ever. I can already tell it's changed my outlook on my profession
and made me a better journalist." "Thanks so much for the work you do. I would have never even
thought to do investigative stories if IRE didn't exist to show
me the way." "This was my first IRE conference, and I was impressed. The
speakers were engaging, first-rate journalists, and every session
I attended was interesting." "It was a great opportunity to meet the best of the best.
I learned things that I know will, and frankly already has, made
me a better journalist." "Overall, the conference was very good. It changed my way
of thinking about my role as an editor when it comes to such things
as the need to go over every detail so that you know the story as
well as the reporter, and the use of graphics to supplement, rather
than repeat, what's in the text so that readers are drawn to the
story." |
