This spring, IRE is offering a 10% membership discount to all new and lapsed members. Current members can also take advantage of the discount and renew their memberships at the lower rate.

The promotion is available Monday, April 15 through Friday, May 3.

Whether you’re just entering the field or you’ve been around a while, IRE has membership benefits that will help journalists all year long — from conferences to webinars, tipsheets, member-only perks and more!

For the first time, those planning to attend IRE24 have access to discounts from Alaska Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines, thanks to the dogged persistence of IRE Board President Brian M. Rosenthal and Affordability Task Force Chair Mark Katches. This year's conference is June 20-23 in Anaheim, California.

There's a wide range of discounts depending on the fare category, from 2 percent for the lowest fares up to 25 percent for international travelers on Delta flights. Some restrictions apply, but the discounts are available a few days before and after the conference. For full details, check out the news release.

Once you've signed up for IRE24, you can register for conference master classes and hands-on trainings that require additional pre-registration. 

Pre-reg classes include "The investigative interview" with Cheryl W. Thompson (NPR) and Scott Zamost (CNBC), "Outlining and structure: The writer's missing manual," with Matt Apuzzo (The New York Times), "Backstopping the data-driven investigation" with Maud Beelman (ASU) and Jennifer LaFleur (USC), "Web scraping with Python" with Cody Winchester, (IRE & NICAR)  and more. 

These classes are first-come, first-serve. So, register while seats are still available.

Elevate your investigative and data skills during the IRE Chicago Watchdog Workshop at the Medill School of Journalism's downtown campus of Northwestern University on May 10, 2024. 

This workshop will have something for everyone — whether you're a reporter, student, editor, educator, producer, freelancer or all of the above and more. You are be guaranteed a plethora of new tips, tricks and skills for your tool belt, plus ideas for your next story and connections with some of the top investigative and data journalists in the country.
