The Wall Street Journal has launched its own whistleblower website to compete with electronic drop box WikiLeaks.

Titled Safehouse, the site solicits whistleblower documents concerning “politics, government, banking, Wall Street, deals and finance, corporations, labor, law, national security and foreign affairs.”

WSJ.com managing editor Kevin Delaney said of the secure, anonymous document submission site: “Clearly there is a digital context for reporting and that means we need a modern infrastructure so that sources can send documents to us.”

A section titled “We want your help” on the Safehouse site (https://www.wsjsafehouse.com/) meanwhile reads:

“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.”
