Tipline

Have something we should know about? Send it our way. We protect sources.

How to send a tip

Email

[email protected] — for general tips, document attachments, leads.

Signal

Request a Signal handle in your email. We provision per-tip handles for sensitive material.

Postal mail

Drop boxes by request. Email us first if mailing physical material.

What makes a strong tip

• Documents are gold — PDFs, photos, screenshots, recordings, public records.
• Names & dates: who, when, where.
• Why it matters: the public-interest hook.
• How you know: insider, witness, FOIA pull, second-hand.

How we handle sources

We do not publish or share source identities without explicit consent. We use end-to-end encrypted channels for sensitive material. We honor on/off-record agreements established before disclosure. Read our Editorial Standards for full sourcing policy.

What we don’t want

• Stolen credentials, passwords, or hacked-account material we cannot lawfully verify.
• Personal beefs without a public-interest angle.
• Material covered by ongoing litigation we’re not party to.
