Investigative Reporters & Editors

Congratulations to the winners and finalists of the 2024 IRE Awards! www.ire.org/announcing-t...

IRE has awarded the 2025 Don Bolles Medal to Rocío Gallegos of La Verdad. Gallegos has courageously reported from the U.S.-Mexico border since 1994, exposing government corruption and helping to report the truth behind the murders of two other journalists. www.ire.org/2025-don-bol...
