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.
Submissions are now open for Lightning Talks to be featured at #NICAR24 in Baltimore. The goal is to teach practical tips in a fun and entertaining way.
Thank you for helping us advance our mission and support investigative journalism in 2023. Help us finish the year strong by contributing to our end-of-year giving campaign.
Torsheta Jackson of Mississippi Free Press, Clavel Rangel, an independent journalist, and Morgan Young from WFAA-TV, Dallas, will serve as IRE’s 2024 Chauncey Bailey Journalist of Color Investigative Reporting Fellows.
There’s more pressure than ever to rise above the competition.
