The Tip Line · For Sources

Send us what they buried.

The memo they shredded the agenda for. The invoice that didn’t match the work. The meeting that wasn’t on the calendar. Somebody always knows — and the somebody reading this page is usually you. Every tip lands in front of the editor. Nothing publishes until it clears two independent sources.

What do you know?

Fill in what you have — skip anything you don’t. This builds an email on your own device, in your own mail app. Nothing you type here is sent to us, or to anyone, until you hit send in your email.

Got documents? Need distance?

Documents

The document drop

For files and records. Send from a personal account; attach, don’t paste. We scrub metadata on receipt and corroborate before anything prints.

Open the drop →
Conversation

The direct line

For short tips, context, or “you should be looking at this.” You don’t have to tell us who you are for us to listen.

Send a message →
Off The Grid

Postal

For paper you want out of any digital chain. Email first so we know to watch for it; we’ll reply with a P.O. Box address.

Read This First

What we can promise — and what we can’t

What we promise

  • Every tip is read by the editor, usually within 24 hours.
  • We never publish your name, role, or identifying details without your prior consent.
  • Your tip alone never publishes. We corroborate independently — two of three sources — or we hold.
  • Before publication, we tell you what is running and how you are described.
  • If we are served legal process about a source, we tell you and we fight it.

What we can’t promise

  • We are not your lawyers. Talking to us is not legally privileged the way talking to your own attorney is.
  • We cannot promise absolute anonymity. Email leaves traces on both ends; act accordingly.
  • Protect yourself first: use a personal device and a personal account — never your work computer, work phone, or employer network.
  • If your situation is high-risk, say so in your first message and send no documents until we’ve talked about how.
