The New York Times wrote about this year’s IRE conference: “It is like Coachella for journalists, because you’ve got a million stages and a million different acts going on — minus the music, and maybe with a lot more khakis,” said Matt Pearce, a national reporter at The Los Angeles Times.
IRE was formed in 1975 to create a forum in which journalists throughout the world could help each other by sharing story ideas, newsgathering techniques and news sources.”
