The Digital Weekly is reachable by email. We do not maintain a phone tree, an automated chat bot, or a generic support inbox routed through a help-desk system. Written correspondence makes for clearer communication; specific email addresses for specific functions makes routing faster.
We respond to most messages within two business days. Some categories (corrections, legal) are handled faster. Others (republication requests, general business inquiries) may take a week.

Secure tips
For sensitive tips where source protection matters, we offer multiple secure channels.
PGP-encrypted email
We accept PGP-encrypted email at editors@thedigitalweekly.com. Our public key fingerprint is available on request via the same address (sent in plain text). For maximum security, request the key from a network and device you don’t normally use, and verify the fingerprint through a separate channel before encrypting anything sensitive.
Signal
For Signal-based tips, we maintain a tip line whose number is shared on request to verified parties. Reach out via editors@thedigitalweekly.com with a brief description of why you need a secure channel; we’ll respond with the number and verification steps.
Physical mail
For postal mail (printed documents, USB drives, etc.), we maintain a PO Box whose address we share with verified parties. Contact editors@thedigitalweekly.com to request the address. Use a return address that doesn’t identify you, and remove obvious identifiers from materials before mailing.
What we promise sources
We honor source-protection agreements made in good faith. We do not surrender source identity to advertisers, sources of competing claims, or our own business team. In the event of legal demand for source identification, we resist disclosure through every available legal channel. See our editorial guidelines for the full standard.

Frequently asked questions
I sent you a tip — when can I expect coverage?
If your tip leads to a story, you’ll usually see it within a few weeks (sometimes faster, sometimes much longer for investigations). If your tip doesn’t lead to a story, you may not hear back — we receive more tips than we can pursue, and we focus our response capacity on tips we’re actively chasing.
Can I send you a press release?
Sure. We will receive it. We rarely cover press releases as news in their own right; if there’s something genuinely newsworthy in the release, our reporters may reach out to follow up.
Can you quote me / interview me?
Our reporters identify and reach out to sources based on the needs of specific stories. We don’t maintain a database of “available experts.” If you want to be considered as a source on future stories in your area of expertise, send a brief note to editors@thedigitalweekly.com with your background and beat-relevance; we’ll route to the right section editor.
Will you cover my product/company?
We cover companies and products based on our editorial judgment about what’s newsworthy to our readers. We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. If you have a substantive story (a meaningful product launch, a hire, a milestone), email editors@thedigitalweekly.com; if it’s promotional content, see Advertise.
I have a legal concern about an article — what do I do?
Email legal@thedigitalweekly.com. We take all legal correspondence seriously and respond promptly. We do not, however, take down articles simply because a subject is unhappy. We will correct factual errors per our corrections policy.
