IDA B. WELLS SOCIETY FOR INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING
It's no secret that newsrooms have a diversity problem. And for investigative news teams, the numbers are even worse, with few people of color on the staff who produce the kinds of in-depth work that helps set the public agenda. The Ida B. Wells Society for Investigative Reporting seeks to change that at all levels. We are a news trade organization, founded by award-winning journalists Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ron Nixon, and Topher Sanders, with a mission to increase the ranks, retention, and profile of reporters and editors of color in accountability journalism.
