Slip Winston a Tip

Got something the public should know? Winston has his nose to the ground — and he’d love to hear from you.

You can share a tip anonymously — no name or contact info required. If you’d like me to follow up with you, include an email address or phone number, but that’s entirely your call.

What happens with your tip: I read every submission personally. If a tip checks out and is worth investigating, I may publish a story based on it. I’ll protect your identity — I won’t name you or reveal identifying details without your explicit permission.

A straight answer on confidentiality: I will do everything I can to keep your identity private, and I’ve never burned a source. But no one can promise absolute, 100% confidentiality in every conceivable circumstance (a court order, for example, is something no blogger can simply ignore). What I can promise is that protecting sources is a core principle here, and I’ll fight to keep your name out of it.

What makes a good tip: Specifics. Documents, dates, names, and firsthand accounts are gold. “Someone should look into the school board” is a nudge; “here’s the contract, here’s what it cost, here’s who signed it” is a story.

Winston thanks you. The watchdog never sleeps.

Have a Whole Story to Tell?

If you would rather tell it yourself, Global Watchdog also publishes guest articles: your story, in your own words, under your own name or a pen name. The full guidelines are on the Write for Global Watchdog page. The short version: write what you know firsthand, and be ready to back claims about people with documents, dates, or records.

Right now: VIP Academy

Global Watchdog is currently looking into working conditions at VIP Academy in Bibb County. If you work there now, worked there before, or have a child there, we especially want to hear from you. Documents, emails, and firsthand accounts are what turn a rumor into a story. The confidentiality promise above applies in full.

Rather use email? You can send a tip to contact@gwmac.com. One caution: email is not anonymous the way the form on this page can be, since your own email address comes with it.
