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...

The journalism industry is facing tremendous challenges and changes. How does investigative journalism persevere — and grow? The upcoming IRE Conference will feature this showcase panel with @keribla.bsky.social, Len Downie Jr., @fahrenthold.bsky.social, @meridak.bsky.social and Lea Thompson. #IRE25

The EEOC wants to stop requiring thousands of private sector businesses to submit workforce demographic reports each year to the agency. This could affect our work as investigative journalists. Comments are open until 11:59 PM E.T. on Aug. 24: https://bit.ly/3Su7WOh
