IRE’s Don Bolles Medal for 2022 has been awarded to two Russian investigative journalists whose commitment to exposing corruption by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and his regime led to them being forced to flee their homes to avoid imprisonment.
IRE is adding its voice to the growing movement to persuade The Pulitzer Prizes to make participating in an annual staff diversity survey a condition of seeking journalism’s highest honor.
IRE is proud to host two important panel discussions during the IRE22 conference in Denver, tackling themes of leadership, cultural reckoning, and the power – and challenge – of newsrooms working together.
There’s more pressure than ever to rise above the competition.
