For some inspiration, check out Extra! Extra!, an online guide to investigative and computer-as- sisted reporting stories. The Web page, at www.ire.org/extraextra, carries summaries of recent in- vestigative pieces and links to the stories. Journalists can search for stories by category, from health and homeland security and politics to nonprofits. With nearly 1,000 entries, it's more than likely that you will find stories related to your beat or whatever topic you're cur- rently covering.
The story listing is just one more effort to help IRE members stay up to date on the latest in inves- tigative stories and techniques. Readers are encouraged to sub- mit stories and links by sending them to extraextra@ire.org.
