Welcome to IRE!
Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc. is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of investigative reporting. IRE was formed to create a forum in which journalists throughout the world could help each other by sharing story ideas, newsgathering techniques and news sources.
IRE provides members access to thousands of reporting tipsheets and other materials through its Resource Center and hosts conferences and specialized training across the country. Programs of IRE include the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR), a collaboration between IRE and the Missouri School of Journalism.

The IRE team grows + promotions
Help us welcome three new staff members to the IRE team! Benét Wilson is our newest training director, Aaricka Washington takes on the role of marketing and promotions specialist and Krista Sporleder joins us as the IRE program coordinator.
In the promotions department, Adam Rhodes has been promoted to managing editor of the IRE Journal and Lauren Grandestaff was promoted to deputy executive director.
IRE members share tips and ideas for reporting on the environment.
With misinformation on the rise, democracy under threat and cutbacks in the news business, the world needs strong watchdog journalism now more than ever.
That’s why we’re committed to helping journalists stay successful in the field. This spring, IRE is offering a 10% membership or renewal discount to all new, current and lapsed members. The promotion is available Monday, April 15 through Friday, May 3.
IRE is pleased to partner with three major airlines to provide discounts for those flying to California for the IRE24 conference in Anaheim June 20-23.
There’s more pressure than ever to rise above the competition.
IRE can help you enhance your daily reporting with resources and member benefits you won’t find anywhere else.
