The next four years are going to call for major investigative journalism, folks. There's already high demand for IRE's training services; we need your help to get top training to those who otherwise wouldn't receive it. I've started a fundraiser: Thanks!

First @Mizanur_TX Rahman and @alexdstuckey. Now @John_Tedesco. Three excellent investigative journalists who cared about their community gone from the Houston Landing. A serious loss for @Hou_Landing and — worse — the people of Houston. The Landing has very big shoes to fill.
