We want your help.

Documents and databases: They're key to modern journalism. But they're almost always hidden behind locked doors, especially when they detail wrongdoing such as fraud, abuse, pollution, insider trading, and other harms. That's why we need your help.

If you have newsworthy contracts, correspondence, emails, financial records or databases from companies, government agencies or non-profits, you can send them to us using the SafeHouse service.

Alexis Madrigal, a senior editor at The Atlantic, has a story about it here, headed "The Wall Street Journal Launches a WikiLeaks Competitor, SafeHouse: The respected New York-based newspaper has built a site for securely uploading documents to its own internal servers."
