In a bid to engage with the public while ensuring factual and respectful discourse, The New York Times has outlined its procedures for reader submissions. Readers are encouraged to submit tips and information but must adhere to specific terms and conditions.

To protect privacy and confidentiality, contact information provided by readers will remain within the Times newsroom and will not be shared externally. The primary purpose of requesting contact details is to verify the sender’s identity and gather additional information if necessary.

For those willing to be contacted about other reporting projects, there is an option to express this preference during submission. However, all contributors must agree to the Reader Submission Terms, which emphasize that any submitted content should be truthful, non-defamatory, and free from copyright infringement or other legal issues.

Key investigative reporters mentioned include Megan Twohey, known for impactful reports leading to legal and societal changes; Danielle Ivory, who has covered topics like gun violence, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine conflict; and Carson Kessler, a current member of the Times Fellowship class, aimed at early-career journalists.

Readers who have significant information to share can utilize the secure tip line available at nytimes.com/tips.
