What We Look for in Tips

We read every tip you send, but we have to make choices about which ones we explore. To help us understand why your tip could be a story, please keep in mind:

  • Tell us why your story is an accountability story. Who is being harmed? What, exactly, is happening? How would we follow up?
  • Our stories are generally about systemic, not individual, harm. If you think your story is part of a pattern, help us understand the larger context.
  • Include any evidence you can share. That includes text messages, emails, documents, receipts, photos, reports and more.
  • If something is time sensitive, please note that in your subject line or introductory text.
  • Please be as specific and concise as you can.

Reach Out to Us Using Postal Mail

U.S. postal mail without a return address is one of the most secure ways to communicate. Authorities would need a warrant to intercept and open it in transit.

For better security, you can mail your package or envelope from an unfamiliar sidewalk box instead of your company or agency mailroom. A sidewalk box is also more secure than a post office. You can mail us paper materials or digital files on, for example, a thumb drive.
