NEWS TIPS
Use the secure form below to submit a news tip to Spinnaker. If you’d prefer to email us your tip, contact tips@unfspinnaker.com.
NOTE: Filling out this form does NOT permit us to associate your name with any story that may develop from your tip. Tips are effectively off-record, and we will only use your name in a story if you give us explicit permission.
What makes a good news tip?
- Evidence and/or documentation to support it. Speculation or having a hunch about something is not enough for a tip.
- Clear and specific. A good tip avoids generalizations and concerns something specific. It should include as many details as possible.
- Newsworthy. Ask yourself: Would Spinnaker normally write a story on this? If the answer is ‘No,’ then, maybe don’t submit the tip.
Why do I need my name to submit a tip?
We do not accept anonymous tips because we must have some way to verify its validity—if it came from a real person. However, this doesn’t mean the name or contact you provided will be associated with anything we publish. News tips are effectively off-record, and we will only use your name in a story if you give us explicit permission.
A method of contact is required to submit a tip so we can reach out to you directly if we have questions about the tip you provided. We will reach out to you via your preferred method of communication.
