IRE is heading to Utah for the Jeff German Investigative Workshop, April 11-12.

The workshop at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah, will begin on a Friday morning and continues through Saturday with half-day training in Google Sheets.

This regional workshop is named in honor of the late Jeff German, a longtime IRE member killed in 2022 by a county official German had investigated. The workshop is made possible through the Jeff German Fund for Investigative Journalism and co-sponsored by Weber State University's Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities.
