IRE offers resources to journalists covering boating accidents, such as the Lake George, N.Y., tour boat accident in October.
The boating accidents resources Web page includes information about databases useful in covering boating accidents that are available from the IRE and NICAR database library. In addition, there are synopses of related tipsheets and stories available from the IRE Resource Center, and references to relevant past articles in Uplink and The IRE Journal.
