It’s looking increasingly likely that Hurricane Irene will wreak havoc up and down the Eastern seaboard this weekend. As the storm gathers strength and speed, you may be wondering how to cover its landing and the aftermath.
If you’re looking for an angle to cover the anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001, consider reviewing who received assistance following the disaster. We’re offering IRE members a slice, in spreadsheet format, of the Small Business Administration Disaster Loans database. It includes loans awarded to businesses and individuals for physical and economic losses caused by the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.
IRE is collecting resources for journalist who are covering today’s earthquake, which affected large portions of the Eastern Seaboard. Share ideas with us at tips@ire.org or send us a note on Twitter or Facebook.
Learn data visualization during a one-day workshop presented by IRE and The Society for News Design. Sarah Cohen, Jaimi Dowdell and Derek Willis will lead the hands-on workshop that’ll take attendees from soup-to-nuts in data manipulation and visualization.
Audio from the 2011 IRE Conference (Orlando, Fla.) is now available for attendees to stream online. A DVD of the audio is available to order from the Resource Center. Conference attendees can obtain a copy for $5 (to cover shipping/handling). Additional copies can be ordered for $25 each.
A fellowship fund has been created to honor the memory of longtime IRE member David Dietz, president of our organization in 2001-02. Dave was a beloved colleague and friend to many IRE members, and was honored last year with IRE’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of his many contributions.
