Welcome to your new website!
The new ire.org is your one-stop shop for IRE news, events, member benefits and more.
IRE is thrilled to unveil our brand-new website!
“This site was built with one goal in mind: making our members’ experience better,” said IRE Executive Director Diana Fuentes. “We’re rolling out upgrades that will make it easier to find what you want, discover new opportunities and stay connected with fellow journalists from anywhere in the world.”
After logging in, members will see an improved dashboard with many new features:
- Forums to connect and share knowledge throughout IRE’s international network
- An improved job center and resumé bank
- Options for autorenewing memberships
- Smoother event registration
- Contest and fellowship awards tied to your membership account
- The opportunity to more accurately specify your identity
- Membership cards are back, baby!
In the coming months, we'll also roll out a much-improved search interface for IRE's database of training resources.
More updates and new features will be added soon. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience as we get everything settled. Please use this form to report website bugs and request new features.
“This site was designed to be intuitive — and to keep evolving to meet our members’ needs,” Fuentes said. “It should work the way journalists do: fast, flexible, ready to roll.
