The new digital-first platform for The IRE Journal is now live, featuring an interview with longtime IRE member Tom Koch, an accomplished journalist and author whose low vision hasn’t stopped a stellar career.

In the new online-only Journal, you'll find all the in-depth stories and regular departments you've enjoyed in the print version, plus new audio and interactive features, including the latest IRE Radio Podcast episodes and recent newsletters.
