You can also find ways to communicate more securely below. Keep in mind there are several tools that help protect your anonymity — but none are foolproof. Review each platform's terms, conditions and instructions, and use them at your own risk.

A good tip is specific, backed up by evidence or documentation, and includes the names of people or organizations whom we can contact to verify the information.

We review all messages we receive but may not respond to all of them. If our reporters have questions, they may reach out to you on the platform where you contacted us.
