IRE is proud to sponsor 35 fellowships for journalists attending #NICAR23 in Nashville, March 2-5.
NICAR23 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, NICAR23 fellows!
