Membership help for troubled times

In these difficult times, IRE is making a special offer to our members: If your membership renewal has come due and you are out of work, we will provide you with a complimentary one-year renewal so that you can continue to use IRE's resources and services. This offer is retroactive for all of those who were not able to renew their membership in the past year for that reason.

All you need to do is contact IRE membership coordinator John Green at jgreen@ire.org or 573-882-2772.

Additionally, several members have encouraged IRE to offer a way that they can help out-of-work colleagues maintain their memberships in these tough times. For anyone who would like to do so, you can fund a year's membership for an out-of-work journalist, a $60 contribution. Please contact John Green if you are interested.
