Caresse Jackman

Board Member

Caresse Jackman is a national consumer investigative reporter with InvestigateTV/Gray Media based in Washington, D.C., who has worked in the news industry for 16 years.
As a Black woman and the daughter of Guyanese immigrants, she seeks to increase diversity within the news industry.
She joined Investigative Reporters and Editors in 2019. In 2021, she was selected to participate in the IRE Diversity Fellowship, which she considers a pivotal moment in her career that molded her into the investigative reporter she is today.
Jackman has actively served on the IRE Conference Committee, as well as the IRE Broadcast Track Committee. She has served as a moderator and panelist and has recruited panelists from different races and backgrounds to participate in IRE, helping to cover a wide range of issues that impact marginalized communities.
She also is a member of the NABJ Investigative Task Force and active speaker for the National Press Foundation’s Widening the Pipeline Fellowship, and seeks to help bridge the connection with other organizations to promote the goals of IRE and work with them to increase the number of investigative journalists of color among our ranks.
One of Jackman's goals is to start an investigative reporting workshop at middle and high schools in low and middle income communities.
She holds two bachelor's degrees from the University of Georgia and has won numerous awards for her work, including a national Edward R. Murrow Award, Emmys and regional Murrow awards, among others.
