Investigative Reporters and Editors will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a gala in September, a festive evening of spirited community and lively entertainment recognizing exceptional journalists from every decade since the organization’s founding.
The journalists to be honored include Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein; Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey; and Alberto Ibargüen, among others. Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Keaton, star of “Spotlight” and “The Paper,” will be recognized with the Champion of Investigative Journalism Award.
The fundraiser, the first of its kind in IRE’s history, is set for Sept. 15 in New York City. Scott Pelley of 60 Minutes will be the host.
Individual seats are $1,500, with table sponsorships beginning at $10,000. Proceeds will support IRE´s vital training programs and resources for journalists worldwide.
Applications are currently open for two major IRE fellowships.
The Chauncey Bailey Journalist of Color Investigative Reporting Fellowship: This yearlong program provides IRE training, mentorship, data services and support — with the goal of helping the fellow produce an investigative reporting project. Deadline: Sept. 1.
Freelance Fellowship: This fellowship supports independent journalists pursuing investigative projects with breadth, significance and impact. Proposals for all types of media, including long-form projects like books and documentaries, are eligible. Deadline: Sept. 29.
IRE will be working with Internet Archive and Poynter Institute on a program to archive and preserve local news, thanks to funding from Press Forward, a national initiative to reimagine local news.
The two-year, $1 million grant will support development of “Today’s News for Tomorrow,” a nationwide program that will help provide infrastructure, preservation services and training for 300 newsrooms and journalists across the country.
“It’s commonly said that journalism is the rough draft of history, but often it’s the only account,” said IRE Executive Director Diana Fuentes. “It’s imperative that we safeguard local news archives and access to those archives. We know it takes time and money. IRE is proud to partner with Internet Archive and Poynter to develop a system for best achieving that goal, and we are grateful to Press Forward for its vision in funding this program.”
