Reach the newsroom
Tips, corrections, partnership enquiries and general feedback arrive at one desk and are read by an editor. Tell us what you have, how you know it, and how we can reach you.
Where your message lands
Winslow Arsenault runs one editorial desk out of Brooklyn. There is no call queue and no ticket number. Everything sent to the address below is read by a person, sorted by what it is, and answered by whoever owns that beat.
The sorting matters more than the volume. A correction to a published figure and a tip about an unreported contract do not need the same handling, and treating them the same is how both get lost.
How to reach us directly
If the matter is time-sensitive, or if writing it out in a form feels wrong, use the newsroom address or phone line. Both reach the same desk in Brooklyn.
- Phone
- +1 718 462 8600
- Desk
- 370 E 31st St, Brooklyn, NY 11226, USA
- Hours
- Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM. Messages that arrive outside those hours are read the next working morning.
We do not discuss unpublished material with anyone outside the desk. If you need to stay anonymous, say so in your first line and we will work around it.
Finding the desk
The office sits on 31st Street in Flatbush, Brooklyn — close to the Church Avenue corridor and a short walk from the 2 and 5 trains. Visits are by appointment, because the people who would meet you are usually out reporting.
If you are bringing documents, tell us in advance what format they are in. Paper gets logged differently from a drive, and it helps to know before you arrive.
About Winslow ArsenaultWhat happens next
Reporting takes time, and a reply is not the same thing as a story. Here is the honest sequence for anything that arrives at the desk.
An editor reads it
A first read happens on the working day it arrives. If the material needs handling carefully — a leaked document, a named source at risk — say so in the first line and it goes to an editor immediately rather than into the general inbox.
A first reply
You hear back with either a question, a request for the document that would settle the point, or a plain answer that we are not the right desk for it. Corrections are usually acknowledged the same working day.
Verification before publication
Anything that runs is checked against documents, a second source, or both. You will be told which claims we can stand behind and which we cannot, before the piece goes out — not after.
What makes a message useful
Dates, document names, and the specific claim you are questioning. A two-line note that names the document is worth more than a page of background, and it is much harder to misread.
Read what the desk has already reported
Before you write, it is worth checking whether the question is already answered. The archive is open, and the standards page explains how sourcing and corrections work at this publication.
Questions readers ask first
The answers below cover the four things that come up most often. Anything not covered here belongs in the form above.
Can I send a news tip anonymously?
Yes. Write from an address you are comfortable using and say clearly that you want to stay unnamed. We will confirm what we can protect before we ask you for anything further, and we will not print an attribution you have not agreed to.
How do I request a correction?
Name the story, the sentence, and what is incorrect. Include the source that settles the point so an editor can check it rather than take your word for it. Corrections that hold up are amended on the page and noted in the piece.
Do you accept press releases and pitch emails?
They arrive and they are read, but the desk does not run announcements as news. If there is a document, a filing, or a figure behind the release, lead with that — it is the part an editor can actually work with.
Can I visit the Brooklyn office?
By appointment, Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM. Write first and say what you are bringing — documents in particular need to be logged, and the editor meeting you may be out on assignment.
Not writing to us — just reading?
The newsletter carries the reporting that the desk stands behind, sent to readers who want world affairs, diplomacy, markets, technology and security without the noise. If you would rather follow the work than send a message, that is the place to start.
