Before you write to us
Understanding how our newsroom handles incoming correspondence helps set clear expectations for both sides. Below are the practical details.
Source protection
We do not disclose the identity of any source without their explicit, written consent. Tip submissions are stored in a restricted-access editorial file. Your name, employer, and location are never shared with third parties or subjects of our reporting.
Verification process
Every tip goes through a structured verification workflow. We may follow up to ask for corroborating material or additional context. We do not publish unverified claims. If your information does not meet our editorial threshold, we will let you know.
Response time
We acknowledge receipt of all messages within one working day. Substantive responses to tips or commissioned reporting enquiries typically take between three and five working days, depending on the complexity of the subject matter.
Data handling
We process your personal data in accordance with the GDPR. Contact form submissions are retained for a maximum of two years after the last related correspondence. We do not sell or share your data. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Send a message
Include as much verifiable detail as possible. Documents, recordings, and links to publicly accessible material all strengthen a submission.

“Off air” does not mean unnoticed. Twelve phones in the press gallery captured what the public feed cut away from. Read the full investigation brief.
