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.

Rick Gevers, a longtime IRE member and broadcast journalism industry veteran, has joined the Board of Directors.
With the 2024 elections right around the corner, IRE is offering a new series of webinars, workshops, panels and hands-on classes to help equip journalists to better cover local, state and federal elections.
IRE hosted the first-ever AccessFest, a virtual-by-design conference with an emphasis on DBEI programming. Our expert panelists led important conversations about diversifying newsrooms, building trust in communities, including more voices in coverage and becoming stronger advocates for ourselves as journalists.
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.
