A great story often begins with one person who notices something important. If you have firsthand information, documents, photos, video, or a lead that could matter to people in Mexico City, tell our newsroom.
You may see a closure before it is announced, notice a public-service problem affecting your neighborhood, have documentation about a decision that deserves scrutiny, or know about a cultural opening that the city should not miss. You do not need to write the story. You only need to help us understand what happened and why it may matter.
The most useful tips concern a real event, change, pattern, decision, place or person that can be checked independently. Examples include:
Major closures, disruptions, public incidents or developing situations.
Metro, Metrobús, airport, road and mobility changes.
Water, health, schools, neighborhood services and infrastructure.
Policies, public programs, government actions and records with a CDMX impact.
Openings, closures, construction, real estate and major investment changes.
Museums, events, local institutions and stories that deserve wider attention.
You do not need every answer. A few precise details can make a huge difference.
You may ask us to keep your name out of a published story. That is different from being technically anonymous. Ordinary email can reveal information such as your email address and metadata, so do not assume an email submission is anonymous simply because you leave your name blank.
This simple form opens your email app and sends the information to our existing CDMX Magazine inbox. You can attach photos, video or documents once the email opens.
A newsroom is not an emergency service. Contact emergency responders first. In Mexico, the general emergency number is 911. Send the newsroom information only when it is safe to do so.
Original files may contain useful date, time or location information. Avoid editing, cropping or adding text before sending when the original is available. If a document contains private information that is unrelated to the story, tell us before sharing it.
Tell us who made the image, when it was taken and whether you have the original file.
Explain what the document is, where it came from and why you believe it is authentic.
Include the original link, account or context when possible so we can verify what the screenshot represents.
1. We review it. An editor looks at whether the information is specific, relevant and potentially verifiable.
2. We verify independently. We may seek records, contact additional sources, visit the location or ask you follow-up questions.
3. We assess public interest. Not every tip becomes a story. Verification and relevance come first.
4. We report what we can establish. Publication is based on reporting, not on the existence of a tip alone.
If you heard something secondhand, tell us exactly how you heard it instead of presenting it as fact.
A private disagreement is not automatically a news story. Explain the broader public-interest reason.
New products and promotions belong with advertising or press outreach unless there is a genuine news angle.
Do not put yourself or someone else at risk to obtain material for us.
Residents, visitors, workers, business owners, students, public employees, event organizers, neighborhood groups and people who simply happened to be there can all help us understand the city better. Your job title does not make the tip important. The information does.
No. Tell us what you know and how you know it. Evidence helps, but the newsroom can investigate a credible lead.
Yes. Tell us before publication if confidentiality is important. The newsroom will need to evaluate source terms in the context of the story.
No. A submission is reviewed and independently verified. Some tips may not be publishable or may not meet the threshold for a story.
Yes. The email submission method lets you add attachments before sending. Originals are preferable when available.
A genuinely newsworthy development can be submitted, but routine promotions and paid-placement requests should use the appropriate advertising or press channel instead.
You do not need a polished pitch. Send the facts you have, tell us what you are unsure about, and give our newsroom somewhere to begin.
