So you want to talk to the rascals. Great. We love to chat. If you don't want to find exactly where to go (lazy!) our individual emails are lin@rascal.news, rowan@rascal.news, chase@rascal.news, caelyn@rascal.news, and thomas@rascal.news.
Lin is a good fit for stories that require investigations, indie RPGs, and culture interviews. Rowan focuses on APs, queer intersections, and radical reimaginings. Chase loves labor stories, solo RPGs, and the business of games. Caelyn covers everything to do with miniature war games. Thomas loves writing about indie RPGs from outside the USA and the history of games.
If you want to get specific about topics, we have also set up specific inboxes at info@rascal.news, tips@rascal.news, fellowships@rascal.news, and press@rascal.news.
See below on what emails should go where.

I have a story tip.
We have set up tips@rascal.news specifically for story tips. All emails sent to tips@rascal.news are automatically considered confidential, and we can negotiate anonymity and on the record conversations from there. You can review our ethics, standards, and disclosures to learn more about our policy on anonymity, being on the record, and source confidentiality.
We are willing to fully anonymize identities, industries, and corporations to preserve a source's safety, however we will need to know a source's real name and confirm their identity at some point in order to publish any story. This knowledge is completely confidential and will not be revealed to anyone publicly, even in state court. Both New York and Texas, where the rascals report from, recognize a journalist's right to refuse to testify on their sources identities, and both states have shield laws enshrining this privilege.
I have a problem.
