Citizen stories • Accountability • Public record
Share your story. Add context. Spark accountability.
Have a firsthand experience with government services, elections, public safety, schools, permits, benefits, or corruption? Submit what happened—what you saw, what you documented, and what you want investigated. We review submissions and may follow up for verification.
How it works
What we’re looking for
We publish verifiable, specific stories that help the public understand how decisions get made and who is affected. Helpful submissions include: dates and locations, agencies involved, what you requested and what you were told, any public records you have, and what outcome you’re seeking. If you’re not sure, submit anyway—we’ll guide you.
Submission guidelines & FAQs
Your safety matters. Read these basics before you submit.
Can I submit anonymously?
Yes. You can share without publishing your name. If we need to verify details, we may ask for a way to contact you privately.
What should I include?
Include who/what/when/where, what you observed, and any supporting links or documents. Clear timelines help us verify.
What won’t you publish?
We don’t publish doxxing, private medical info, or content that encourages harassment or violence. We also avoid unverified accusations presented as fact.
Will you edit my story?
We may edit for clarity, length, and legal safety while keeping your meaning intact. We’ll confirm key facts before publication when possible.
Can I share photos, screenshots, or documents?
Yes. If you have public records, emails, letters, or screenshots, mention them in your message. We’ll follow up with secure options for sharing files.
How long does review take?
Most submissions are reviewed within 7–14 days. High-volume news cycles can take longer, but every story is logged.
