IRE empowers me by providing the most invaluable investigative training and mentorship in the world. Journalists who dream of big ambitious public service turn to IRE, and the organization repays that trust year after year without fail. How do I know? Because I’m in that number. And so are many of my friends.

  • "IRE changed the trajectory of my career and through trainings, conferences and community makes me a better journalist everyday. But it's not just me. The same is true for thousands of journalists who strive to weed out malfeasance and hold power to account." - Kavahn Mansouri, The Midwest Newsroom
  • "Whether in-person or now virtual, there are so many opportunities to add a new tool to your toolbox! ... I often tell people, no matter where you are in your career, you can learn something new through IRE and as veteran journalist, I pride myself on continuing to do that, then sharing it with the next generation." - Zaneta Lowe, WREG-TV Memphis
  • "IRE has helped me close the gap between my ambitions and my ability. I spent a lot of years as a breaking news reporter before I become a full-fledged investigative reporter ... And all that time, I longed to do more ambitious enterprise and investigative stories. But it’s tough to know how to do that. IRE gave me the roadmap." - Andrew Ford, The Arizona Republic
  • "(The online conferences) have been well-managed and informative. Beyond their utility, I’ve appreciated IRE’s effort to make events more accessible for those who cannot or struggle to travel for physical, financial or other reasons." - Emilia Ruzicka, freelance journalist
