3. AssessThe newsroom considers public value, accuracy, fairness and available context.
4. ReportIf pursued, the tip may inform reporting that is independently researched and edited.

News tip questions

What makes a useful news tip?

A useful tip is specific and verifiable. Explain what happened, where and when it occurred, why it matters locally, and what evidence may support it.

Can I send documents?

Use the form to describe the documents you have. An editor can provide follow-up instructions if the newsroom needs to review files.

Will my tip be published?

Not necessarily. Every lead is evaluated for relevance, available evidence and public value before the newsroom decides whether to pursue it.

Will someone respond to me?

The newsroom may follow up when more detail is needed. The volume of submissions means an individual response cannot be guaranteed.

Can I ask a general question here?

Yes. The form accepts comments and questions as well as news tips. For general site matters, you may also use the contact page.

Is this form for emergencies?

No. This inbox is not monitored as an emergency service. Contact the appropriate local service when immediate assistance is needed.
