WHAT IS A NEWS TIP?
A news tip is information about a developing story, an upcoming event, a community issue, or anything else you think our readers should know about. Tips help us stay connected to what matters most in the Lehigh Valley.
We welcome tips about local government, business developments, community events, human interest stories, investigative leads, and anything else that affects life in our region.

CONFIDENTIALITY
We understand that some tips may be sensitive. If you wish to remain anonymous or discuss confidentiality, please indicate this in your email. We respect source confidentiality and will work with you to protect your identity when appropriate.
