IRE is proud to sponsor 19 fellowships for journalists attending NICAR26 in Indianapolis, March 5-8.

NICAR26 fellowships were available for any journalist; journalists, students and educators of color; Illinois journalism students and early-career journalists; and educators who teach data journalism/investigative reporting. IRE membership for one year and support to offset conference attendance expenses were included in fellowships.

All fellows were required to meet IRE’s membership standards: Someone substantially engaged in news gathering, presentation or production; a student pursuing a degree or someone engaged full-time in research or teaching in the field of journalism.

Congratulations, NICAR26 fellows!
