Thinking about joining IRE or renewing your membership? IRE's fall membership drive is the perfect time to get involved!
Join or renew your membership by Nov. 18 for a chance to win free conference registration, a gift certificate to the IRE store or free newsroom training. The promotion is available Monday, Oct. 21, through Monday, Nov. 18. See details below.
Individuals
Join IRE or renew your membership by Nov. 18 to be entered. Two lucky winners will be drawn to receive a free conference registration in 2025 – your choice of conference! The NICAR Conference will take place March 6-9, 2025 in Minneapolis. The IRE Conference will take place June 19-22, 2025 in New Orleans. The all-virtual AccessFest25 will take place in October, dates to be announced.
A third winner will be selected to win a $50 gift certificate to the IRE store, which has a fun collection of T-shirts, mugs, stickers, accessories and popular books such as "The Investigative Reporter's Handbook."
Members will be automatically entered in this drawing after joining or renewing during the drive period.
Newsrooms
Share the value of IRE with your newsroom! Every newsroom that brings in at least five new members or renewals by Nov. 18 can enter a drawing for a FREE one-hour webinar. Editors can customize the free training by choosing from IRE’s menu of nearly 100 topics!
To enter, one representative from the newsroom must fill out this form after at least five qualified staffers sign up or renew during the drive time period. The winning newsroom will have up to one year to redeem the free custom webinar.
Being an IRE member is more valuable than ever.
With access to reduced or free subscriptions to premium reporting tools, thousands of tipsheets, free training webinars throughout the year, a virtual mentorship program and a robust jobs board full of investigative opportunities, IRE members have a treasure trove of relevant resources to stay at the top of the field.
We like to say the ROI is priceless, but if you're doing the math ... A$50-$75 yearly professional membership provides benefits of more than $2,000! Here are some details:
Students, who join at just $25 per year, have access to nearly all of those same benefits.
Plus, IRE is continually working to make our resources more valuable and accessible to our members. In addition to amping our virtual programming with dozens of training webinars, we just hosted AccessFest24, our annual all-virtual conference, with two-and-a-half days of training on inclusion, accessibility, investigative reporting and data skills.
IRE recently announced a new membership category, allowing early-career journalists to join the organization for $50/year (as opposed to the professional rate of $75/year). "Early career" is defined as those who have been in the business five years or fewer.
Students may keep their student membership for up to one year after graduation if they are still looking for their first journalism job.
