Investigative Reporters and Editors reposted this
Hoping all of you are planning for some rest and recharge time this holiday weekend. Before you hopefully log off, I am sending a brief note to encourage you if you can spare a few minutes to submit pitches for Investigative Reporters and Editors upcoming annual conference that's virtual by design, AccessFest, October 17-19. Topic ideas and speaker suggestions are great and pitches don't need to be fully baked. We hope to show that there remains demand for virtual training. In case you’re not familiar, AccessFest focuses on two major prongs that expands IRE’s efforts to provide more accessible training. Some sessions are centered on belonging, equity, and inclusion in the newsroom and through better news coverage of inequities in the communities journalists serve. And for those who couldn't make it to NICAR or IRE this year? The conference also features the most well-attended data classes and digging into docs sessions from the in-person conferences this past year. https://lnkd.in/gMN8NgYj
