Report Corruption to Tarbell.org
At Tarbell, we believe in holding powerful institutions accountable. If you’ve witnessed government misconduct, corporate fraud, unethical behavior in healthcare, environmental abuse, or financial wrongdoing—you have the right to speak up.
We’re here to amplify your voice and protect your identity.
Why Reporting Matters
Investigative journalism thrives on facts that often go unspoken. Corruption, cover-ups, and systemic abuses of power affect our communities, economy, and democracy. Your tip—no matter how small—can be the beginning of a major investigation that sparks change.
Whether you’re a whistleblower, employee, healthcare worker, contractor, or concerned citizen, your insights could shine a light where others won’t look.
What You Can Report
We accept tips related (but not limited) to:
- Government fraud or abuse of power
- Corporate misconduct or financial deception
- Defense industry malpractice
- Environmental violations
- Healthcare exploitation or insurance fraud
- Dark money in politics and lobbying
If you’re unsure whether your information qualifies, send it anyway. We’ll assess it discreetly.
Your Privacy Comes First
We take your safety and confidentiality seriously. Here’s how we protect you:
- You may report anonymously—no name, email, or contact info required
- Your tip will go directly to a vetted investigative editor
- We never share your identity without consent
- We use secure methods to protect sensitive files and communication
If you’re concerned about digital traceability, we recommend using encrypted services such as ProtonMail or Signal, or connecting through Tor Browser for maximum anonymity.
How to Submit a Tip
You can report corruption in two simple ways:
Secure Email: Send your tip or documents to hello@tarbell.org
Encrypted Upload (coming soon): We’re building a secure, anonymous dropbox for safer uploads.
Be as detailed as possible. Include any documents, photos, links, dates, or names involved. The more context we have, the stronger our investigation will be.
What Happens After You Report
Once we receive your submission:
- Our editorial team will review and verify the information.
- We may follow up with clarifying questions (if you’ve shared contact info).
- If your tip leads to a story, we’ll protect your anonymity unless you request otherwise.
Tarbell is committed to truth. Your bravery can make a difference.
