Abuse and mismanagement in the government and private sector need brought to public attention. Giving information to journalists can be risky and may violate previous legal agreements, such as a nondisclosure agreement or contract. It can also be an effective and courageous way to call attention to misconduct.

Minimize potential risk when sharing sensitive information with a news organization: physical mail, burner phones, E2EE messaging, Tor/VPN, etc.
