Do you know something The Verge should investigate? Here’s how to get in touch.
Note: this is only for editorial tips. For advertising, technical support, and other inquiries, go here.
Some of our most important stories start with tips. We’re always looking for information about the companies and products that shape the way we live, insight into the government agencies responsible for regulating the environment and tech we interact with daily, and other stories about the impact technology has on human beings. Evidence is key: firsthand experience or revealing documents will be more useful than a hunch. Have you encountered something that the public should know about? If so, we want to hear from you.
How to tip The Verge
Email is the easiest way to reach us. Send tips to the general Verge email here: tips@theverge.com
Email addresses for specific reporters and editors are linked on this staff list.
If you are at risk of reprisals, do not use your work email, Wi-Fi, or device.
Signal
You can also send tips using the app Signal, which encrypts text messages and calls. Signal stores your number and the last time you accessed the app, but not whom you communicate with. Be sure not to use your work phone. You can download Signal here.
You can tip The Verge via Signal here: +1-315-236-9796. Some reporters have their own Signal numbers and can be contacted directly.
Depending on what version of Signal you’re using, you may need to add The Verge’s number as a contact before beginning a conversation. The contact can be deleted once the conversation has begun. The Freedom of the Press Foundation offers additional guidelines for locking down security on Signal.
Postal Mail
Postal mail is also a secure way of sending tips and documents. For anonymity, use a public mailbox, and don’t include a return address. Large packages should not be sent to the PO box.
