How To Leak To ProPublica by David Sleight.
From the post:
Our job is to hold people and institutions accountable. And it requires evidence. Documents are a crucial part of that. We are always on the lookout for them — especially, now.
Have you seen something that troubles you or that you think should be a story? Do you have a tip about something we should be investigating? Do you have documents or other materials that we should see? We want to hear from you.
Here are a few ways to contact us or send us documents and other materials, safely, securely and anonymously as possible.
Here is our staff list, which links to each of our bios and email addresses. Of course, email is convenient, but if your information is sensitive, there are better options.

David outlines your options in detail:
- Encrypted Messages and Calls
- Encrypted Email
- The Low-Tech, but Secure Option: Postal Mail
- Super Hi-Tech, Time-Consuming but Maximum Security: SecureDrop
One caveat on leaking, not specific to ProPublica, secure agreement on when the raw leak will be released.
Enough time must be allowed for the reporters to prepare and benefit from the leak, but the public has an interest in comparing reports based on leaked information to the raw leaked information.
