Day three of the IRE Conference was jam-packed with the IRE Awards Luncheon, a full slate of sessions, the IRE membership meeting and Board of Director elections. Six members were elected to the board.
During the IRE Awards luncheon, IRE member Andy Hall detailed the situation in Wisconsin, in which the state government attempted to kick a journalism nonprofit out of its headquarters at the University of Wisconsin. IRE unveiled the inaugural Golden Padlock Award, honoring a government agency for unrelenting commitment to undermining the public's right to know. The honor went to U.S. Border Patrol. Soon after, keynote speaker Marcela Turati revealed the true state of journalism in Mexico, where journalists fear not for their jobs but their lives. U.S. newspapers have cut their resources in border coverage and Mexican journalists face threats of torture and death for pursuing the truth.
