The 2011 IRE Conference in Orlando Florida included training, panels and networking opportunities for investigative journalists.
Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation continues their support of INN and its members with a grants intended to increase INN's ability to share their programs and support to individual member organizations.
A strong contingent of INN members participated in the recent Global Investigative Journalism Conference in Kiev, Ukraine, speaking on panels, marketing training opportunities, and meeting one on one and in groups with other participants. The global conference, the seventh of its kind, drew more than 500 journalists from 80 countries despite extensive visa problems for journalists from Africa and Latin America. The conference spanned five days, with the first day devoted to a trip to Chernobyl, the site of one the world's worst nuclear plant disasters. Among the INN members attending and speaking were Chuck Lewis of the Investigative Reporting Workshop; Mark Horvit of Investigative Reporters and Editors and the National Institute of Computer-Assisted Reporting; Joe Bergantino of the New England Center for Investigative Reporting; Bill Buzenberg of the Center for Public Integrity and many of his staff; Chase Davis of the Center for Investigative Reporting; Jennifer LaFleur of ProPublica; Sheila Coronel of the Stabile Center for Investigative Reporting; and Brant Houston of the Investigative News Network. Handouts and tip sheets from the conference will be posted the Global Investigative Journalism Network Web site, gijn.org, as they become available.
INN and IRE partner to create a one day workshop at the IRE Conference for nonprofit news centers with topics including business practices, editorial collaboration, fundraising and audience engagement.
Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE) and the Investigative News Network (INN) are partnering to host Best Practices for Nonprofit Newsrooms: A day of hands-on sharing and learning at the IRE Conference in Boston on June 14, 2012. This all-day program will focus on three areas that are vital to nonprofit investigative centers: collaboration, legal issues, and best practices in operations. All INN members are encouraged to attend. Additional conference details are available on IRE's website. The agenda for June 14 includes:
9:45 a.m. Welcome remarks Kevin Davis, INN CEO
10 a.m. Collaboration Workshop Evelyn Larrubia, INN Editorial Director
As collaborations between newsrooms flourish, how do you handle serious journalistic disagreements, such as how a story’s findings are described in the nutgraph?
Congratulations to the INN members honored by the 2013 Investigative Reporters & Editors Awards. The annual IRE Awards, established in 1979, “recognize outstanding investigative work and help identify the techniques and resources used to complete each story.”
About 20 reporters from around the country gathered in Missoula, Montana, last week to learn how to track contributions in state elections, spot patterns and find stories among the data.
At the IRE conference in Boston this month, several INN members shared their experience and expertise on a number of topics that are vital to nonprofit and independent news organizations. The topics range from best practices in shooting video to tracking a news organization's impact. We’ve compiled the presentations into a resource. Thanks to all the INN members who participated. Descriptions and links to video and the slides from each of the presentations is listed here.
