Got a confidential news tip?
Do you have the next big story? Want to share it with The Art Times? We offer several ways to get in touch with and provide materials to our journalists. No communication system is completely secure, but these tools can help protect your anonymity. We’ve outlined each below, but please review any app’s terms and instructions as well. Please do not send feedback, story ideas, pitches or press releases through these channels. For more general correspondence visit our contact page.
What Makes a Good Tip?
A strong news tip will have several components. Documentation or evidence is essential. Speculating or having a hunch does not rise to the level of a tip. A good news tip should articulate a clear and understandable issue or problem with real-world consequences. Be specific. Finally, a news tip should be newsworthy. While we agree it is unfair that your neighbor is stealing cable, we would not write a story about it.
Examples of good tips include:
Here is evidence that this representative is breaking the law
Here is proof that this company is conducting itself unethically
We will be reviewing messages regularly, but cannot promise each will receive an individual response. There are multiple ways to submit tips. Each method provides different levels of protection, so we encourage you to be certain of the pros and cons of the method you choose. We will respond to tips using the same method in which they were submitted. For example, if you submit a tip to us via email, we will only respond to you using email.
Submit a Tip
Please note that you must leave an email if you’d like us to contact you.
Postal Mail
Mail delivered through the postal service is another secure means of communication. We recommend that you use a public mailbox, not a post office.
