Ida B. Wells Society members are invited to participate in the USC Annenberg Annual Open Source Journalism Conference. The training will take place at USC in Los Angeles on October 9-10, 2026. If you are interested in having your conference registration waived, please apply here ASAP, as space is limited.

In celebration of the Ida B. Wells Society's 10th anniversary, we're excited to share new merch with our limited-time logo! Show off your love for the Society with items ranging from T-shirts and sweatpants to stickers, mugs and bags. All proceeds from sales go toward continuing the programs that have shaped a decade of journalists and will shape the next decade.

Three alumni of the Society’s Investigative Reporting Internship Program worked on news teams that either won a 2026 Pulitzer Prize or were recognized as nominated finalists. Congratulations to Allison Beck, Ryanne Mena, and Greg Morton, who all contributed to coverage in the Local Reporting category for their respective news organizations. Allison and Ryanne were interns while working on projects that emerged in the running for the coveted prize.
