Before you contact a newsroom
Make the tip easy to verify.
- Lead with what happened.Give the exact location, date and why neighbors should care now.
- Share proof.Add photos, video, documents, names of witnesses and any city complaint number.
- Leave a callback.Include your name and best phone number, even if you want the newsroom to protect your identity.
- Confirm ground rules.Ask the journalist to agree before treating anything as anonymous, confidential or off the record.
For immediate danger, call 911 first. A newsroom tip does not create a police report, City service request or emergency response.
