Have something we should investigate?

Send a story lead, document, photograph, recording or other information directly to the Crazy News newsroom. You do not need to give us your name or email address.

No identity field. This form does not ask who you are and Crazy News does not deliberately add your IP address or browser information to the tip delivered to our newsroom.

Identity

No name required

There is no name, account, phone number or email field in the anonymous submission form.

Storage

No tip database

Successful submissions are forwarded to the newsroom mailbox rather than deliberately retained in an application database.

Honesty

No false security claims

This is not SecureDrop. Hosting companies and network providers may maintain technical logs outside this application.

Subject

A short description, for example: “Documents concerning local housing contract”.

What should we know?

Explain what happened, how you know, when and where it happened, and what a reporter could check independently.

Attach evidence

Optional. Up to 5 files, maximum 8 MB each and 15 MB combined. Common documents, images, video and audio are accepted.

The form deliberately contains no contact-information field. Do not identify yourself inside the message unless you actually want the newsroom to know who you are.

Give us something we can test.

You do not need to write a finished article. A strong tip gives a reporter a concrete starting point.

What happened
How you know
When and where it happened
What documents or evidence exist
Who else may know
How the claim could be independently checked

Do not clean up evidence for us.

Where possible, send the original file rather than a cropped screenshot or edited copy. Metadata and surrounding context can matter when reporters assess authenticity.

If a page comes from a larger document, tell us. If information came from another person rather than something you witnessed yourself, make that distinction clear.

Understand the limit.

This form is designed not to ask the newsroom who you are. That is different from guaranteeing that no technical metadata exists anywhere on the internet.

Your connection still passes through hosting and network infrastructure that may maintain access records independently of Crazy News.

If revealing your identity could place you at serious legal, professional or personal risk, consider accessing the site through Tor Browser and avoid identifying yourself in the message or attached files.

After you press send

A tip is a starting point, not automatic publication.

We assess it

A reporter may first need to understand the claim, examine supporting material and determine whether there is a realistic way to verify it.

We verify independently

Documents, timelines, records, witnesses and other independent sources may be required before information can be treated as established.

Publication is not guaranteed

Some tips lead to reporting. Others cannot be verified or fall outside our editorial priorities. Sending information does not by itself create a promise of publication or response.
