IRE News
Manny García, Editor in Chief at Houston Landing, and Shawn McIntosh, Head of Standards and Practices at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, have been nominated for the prestigious IRE Ring of Honor.
IRE stands strongly with our colleagues around the globe. The organization is forming a working group to explore how it can help protect an independent press and access to public data.
Fifty years of IRE. This milestone is special. To celebrate this historic anniversary, we have exciting plans throughout 2025. See details and join us!
The new digital-first platform for The IRE Journal is now live, featuring an interview with longtime IRE member Tom Koch, an accomplished journalist and author whose low vision hasn’t stopped a stellar career.
The program will award $10,000 grants to journalists pursuing investigative reporting projects focused on public health and disability issues.
2025 marks IRE’s 50th anniversary! To celebrate the milestone, retired journalists can join or renew their membership for $50 instead of $75 in 2025.
