One of IRE's primary purposes is educating fellow journalists in the latest techniques of finding, understanding and reporting on stories. We are proud to say we have crisscrossed the country with our seminars and workshops and have even reached overseas.

Computer-Assisted Reporting Boot Camp

    These unique seminars train journalists to acquire electronic information, use spreadsheets and databases to analyze the information and translate that information into high-impact stories. In addition, the institute then provides follow-up help when participants return to their news organizations.
