IRE thanks the Scripps Howard Foundation for its continued support of the mentoring program.

We also salute the dedicated IRE members who have volunteered to share their time and expertise as mentors.

One-on-One Mentoring

The annual IRE Conference offers an opportunity for in-depth, one-on-one coaching on investigative reporting. These private sessions allow attendees to seek advice on challenging stories or followup ideas. These sessions are not for job seekers; they are designed for teaching and sharing information. The next opportunity will be at the 2010 IRE Conference in Las Vegas. Watch for details on the Web site.

Mentoring at the 2010 IRE Conference in Las Vegas - June 10-13

The conference offers an opportunity for in-depth, one-on-one coaching on investigative reporting. These private sessions allow attendees to seek advice on challenging stories or followup ideas. You must have registered for the conference and have signed up for a mentor by May 14.

IRE pairs those who signed up with a mentor, and contact information is provided to both mentors and those who want to be mentored. Mentors and mentees can then agree on a time and place to meet at the conference.

Registration has closed for mentoring at the 2010 IRE Conference.

These sessions are not for job seekers; they are designed for teaching and sharing information. Mentees should bring examples of work and story ideas. (Note: IRE is unable to provide private access to audiovisual equipment for broadcast mentoring. Please make your own arrangements if your mentor agrees to review a work sample.)
