Documents and databases: They're key to modern journalism. But they're almost always hidden behind locked doors, especially when they detail wrongdoing such as fraud, abuse, pollution, insider trading, and other harms. That's why we need your help.
If you have newsworthy contracts, correspondence, emails, financial records or databases from companies, government agencies or non-profits, you can send them to us using the SafeHouse service.
SafeHouse's interests are as broad as the world The Wall Street Journal covers - including politics, government, banking, Wall Street, deals and finance, corporations, labor, law, national security and foreign affairs.
We're open to receiving information in nearly any format, from text files to audio recordings and photos.
Please do not submit press releases, letters to the editor or other Journal feedback to SafeHouse – see below for where to send those. Please also be sure to read the SafeHouse Terms of Use.
Your name and contact information are optional
but could aid our journalists in their reporting.
Documents and tips provided to SafeHouse will be vetted by some of the world's most experienced and responsible investigative reporters and editors.
A veteran Journal editor will review each submission, and coordinate any follow-up. Being able to contact you if needed can greatly help our ability to pursue a story quickly. We strongly encourage you to provide contact info if anonymity is not required.
