If you need to report a story or “blow a whistle” on something, any ideas where to go?

I went to a couple news outlets (e.g. RTBF) and they have a security gatekeeper forcing people to make appointments. The email addresses are generally Gmail addresses – WTF? They seem to think their vanity address hides the fact that they force sensitive info through a dodgy surveillance advertiser.

They push webforms that are CAPTCHA-encumbered. I don’t do CAPTCHAs.

Is there a media outlet where people can just walk-in, with no appointment, and expose a story without having to go through some shitty or insecure process?

    When I manage to reach someone at a front desk, they are always puzzled. They think it’s weird that someone would come into their front door with a story, and they say “we don’t work like that”. They don’t even have enough motivation to hear the gist of the story.

    What language do you speak to them?
