Rothwell Figg is proud to support the Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE) 50th Anniversary Gala taking place September 15, 2025, in New York, New York.
IRE, the premier training organization for journalists worldwide, celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. In September, IRE will host a dinner gala to mark those decades of investigative journalism, to honor some of its pioneers and practitioners, and to raise financial support for the organization’s next half-century. The journalists to be honored include Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame; Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, the New York Times reporters who broke the stories about Harvey Weinstein and workplace sexual harassment; and Alberto Ibargüen, a renowned champion of investigative journalism.
Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc. is a grassroots nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of investigative reporting. IRE was formed to create a forum in which journalists throughout the world could help each other by sharing story ideas, newsgathering techniques, and news sources. IRE provides members access to thousands of reporting tipsheets and other materials through its Resource Center and hosts conferences and specialized training across the country. Programs of IRE include the National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR), a collaboration between IRE and the Missouri School of Journalism.
