Eight newsrooms will receive custom, grant-funded watchdog training in the coming year through IRE’s Total Newsroom Training program.
Total Newsroom Training provides two days of intensive, personalized training for small and medium-sized newsrooms dedicated to watchdog journalism. This is the 11th year Investigative Reporters and Editors has offered the program, and will reach the milestone of 100 newsrooms trained under TNT in 2024.
"The fundamental mission of IRE is to provide the best in data analysis and investigative journalism training, providing a thriving network of like-minded journalists for year round collaboration to help improve the quality of our industry," said IRE Executive Director Diana R. Fuentes. "TNT helps us accomplish our mission. The graduates of TNT workshops have gone on to produce stories that have changed laws and changed lives in the communities they serve. It is democracy in action, and we are proud to be a part of that."
TNT newsroom training is based on the specific needs of each individual newsroom and includes sessions ranging from how to successfully handle public records battles to hands-on learning of spreadsheets and programming to topic-focused training such as best practices in covering education, law enforcement and underrepresented communities.
This year’s newsrooms were chosen from a record number of applicants.
The selected newsrooms have a wide range of specialties and talents, ranging from bilingual coverage of Bay Area immigrant communities, to national LGBTQ+ issues, climate change and more.

IRE’s experienced trainers will come to selected U.S.-based newsrooms either virtually or in person for two days of intense, in-house investigative training – at no cost. Spots in the program are limited and awarded on a competitive basis.
Preference will be given to newsrooms in rural areas and smaller cities, smaller newsrooms in large markets, and newsrooms founded and run by those coming from and serving historically marginalized communities. Training must be completed by September 2023.
Total Newsroom Training is meant to help small to medium-sized news organizations, and IRE customizes training based on the needs of the organization. These sessions can include web tools, background techniques, and hands-on data analysis training.
The program is designed to increase the ability of news organizations to provide watchdog and enterprise coverage for their communities and to produce work that can lead to change and improvements.
The newsroom must be committed to allowing a significant portion of its staff to attend the full two days of training and to tracking their progress after the training. The winning newsrooms will attend a webinar later in the year to showcase their work. The deadline to apply is December 9, 2022. Learn more about the program and how to apply.

A review of the salaries and benefits of public employees and elected officials at St. Clair County found the county spent more than $1 million on such benefits for 86 part-time employees and politicians. County officials say the benefits are necessary as an incentive to draw better employees while critics believe the practice is unnecessary and costly.
County Board members, attorneys, assistant public defenders, assistant state's attorneys, jury commissioners, East St. Louis Election Board commissioners, nurses and others received full benefits for working part-time with the county. The county spent more than $1.07 million providing such benefits last year - about $872,000 more than the combined cost of four neighboring counties.
The News-Democrat found the county does not have a minimum wage level for part-time employees to receive benefits. For example, one employee received health and retirement benefits but only earned $153 in wages.
