Blow the Whistle

A good news tip contains hard evidence, such as e-mails, internal documents or financial statements. Also, consider who is impacted by this story. To quote the New York Times, ?While we agree it is unfair that your neighbor is stealing cable, we would not write a story about it.?

Step-1: Are you inasafe place

Never use a work-provided device or online account to contact the press. Employers are often able to snoop on your communication.

As a minimum, ask yourself the following questions:

- Are you, or are you familiar with, the owner of the computer device you're currently using?

- Are you using an internet connection you can trust?

- Is anyone looking over your shoulder?

If you require an extra level of security, consider using Tor Browser and Tails.
