Mentorship Program

IRE has partnered with the Media Mentors program at JournalismMentors.com to provide mentorship and guidance to journalists looking to build skills in data and watchdog reporting. 

Mentors on the Investigative page of the JournalismMentors.com website are IRE members who have volunteered to help others with skills such as data journalism, requesting public records, approaching an accountability interview and other watchdog reporting skills. Those seeking mentorship are not required to be IRE members, and mentorship sessions are free to all.

Through the website, mentors set up office hours when they are available, and mentees can choose a time to set up a chat through an automated system.
