The news industry is facing tremendous headwinds. Misinformation is everywhere. Our democracy is under threat. Now more than ever, our country and our communities need strong watchdog journalism. Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE) offers valuable resources and support with instant access to databases that can turn dailies into quick-hit investigations, reduced or free subscriptions to premium reporting tools, thousands of tipsheets and a brand new webinar series on watchdogging elections.

Until May 3, IRE is offering a 10% discount on new memberships or renewals. Please share this with your journalists. Here’s how they can take advantage:
