News-Tips
Got a tip?
The best tips are newsworthy, clear, and accompanied with evidence. Our journalists may not follow a lead if it is vague, speculatory, or unsupported. Please do not send feedback or article pitches.
How can you submit your tip?
We have provided a few ways to submit your anonymous tip. Take into account that each mode of communication offers different levels of security.
Google Forms
Google Forms are best for submitting quick news tips. The only information we will have from you is the email address that you used to submit the form.
Proton Mail
Proton Mail provides an end-to-end encryption service that ensures that only you and the recipient can view your messages. Encryption keeps your information safe because it does not scan the content of your emails like many popular email services do. The only data Proton Mail collects are the email or phone number you use to verify your account upon creation. Keep in mind that Proton Mail automatically encrypts emails between Proton Mail users. If you do not want to make a Proton Mail account but want the same level of protection, follow these instructions here.
