How to share confidential story tips and material with our journalists

Do you have a tip or sensitive material to share with X Minority? We offer several ways to reach our journalists.

We regularly review submissions, but because we are receiving a large number, we cannot respond to or investigate every tip.

Anatomy of a good tip
Tips should be newsworthy, meaning they concern systemic problems of timely and broad public interest. The most compelling tips are those that can be corroborated with documentation or evidence.

Email
Regular email is convenient but not secure. Do not use it if your information is sensitive or if you are concerned about someone knowing that you are a source.

If you want to send us a sensitive information, its better to send it via encrypted e-mail with Pretty Good Privacy (PGP).
Be aware that while the content of PGP-encrypted emails is secure, metadata — such as information about the sender or recipient, time stamps and the subject — is not.

Keep in mind that many email providers retain your messages unless you direct otherwise.

Several browser extensions, such as Mailvelope, Enigmail and FlowCrypt, make it easy to use PGP with existing email providers, such as Gmail.

You can also use ProtonMail, an email provider that supports PGP.

For additional anonymity, set up a dedicated email address to communicate with us.

Our ProtonMail address: x.minority@proton.me

If you will use the form below Email type the subject “Tips” at the top of the message
