IRE works constantly to provide training in the latest data analysis and investigative reporting and editing techniques and to foster a safe, inclusive forum where journalists throughout the world can help each other share ideas, tips and sources.

It takes volunteers and money to make it all work. Our annual end-of-the-year campaign is one of the ways you can help raise those necessary funds — every dollar helps. 

Join IRE for professional development training in Denton, Texas on Friday, Nov. 7. This day-long workshop — at the University of North Texas Mayborn School of Journalism — will feature a mix of investigative and data sessions to help you become a better watchdog journalist.

Whether you're a reporter, student, editor, educator, producer, freelancer or all of the above and then some, you'll be able to walk away with new skills and connections.

We're hiring for two open roles at Investigative Reporters and Editors.

Training Director: IRE is looking for a passionate, high-energy individual to join our training team. The person in this two-year position will organize and conduct in-person and online training, including data journalism bootcamps, customized newsroom training, regional workshops and more. 

Program Coordinator: IRE is seeking a detail-oriented professional to effectively manage and oversee various programs and initiatives within the organization. This position is based in Columbia, MO.
