Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

  • Not a directory — coverage is earned editorial; no listing product
  • The /contact page has a reason picker: editorial tip, pitch a story, technical support, advertising, press inquiry, security issue, moderators
  • The tip form asks for: one-sentence summary, detailed explanation, optional anonymity, name, email
  • A dedicated tip page exists at theverge.com/c/tech/22579076/how-to-tip-the-verge-email-signal-and-more (email + Signal options)
  • The Verge is part of Penske Media (PMX Global) — formerly Vox Media

Prepare before opening the form

  • A newsworthy consumer-tech hook — The Verge covers tech, AI, reviews, policy, entertainment, gadgets
  • One-sentence tip summary plus detailed explanation (the form requires both)
  • Name and email — anonymity is offered but they may need to contact you to verify
  • For a product launch, pitch a story with an embargoed press kit or review unit offer

Workflow

  1. Open https://www.theverge.com/contact
  2. Pick 'I have an editorial tip' for news tips or 'I want to pitch a story' for pitches
  3. Fill the one-sentence summary, details, name, and email; check 'Keep me anonymous' only if needed
  4. For sensitive material use the Signal/email options documented on the Tip Us page
  5. Coverage, if it happens, is a staff-written article — no listing page is created

Watch for

  • Anything submitted may be published — the tip form is on the record
  • Form submissions agree to Vox Media community guidelines
  • A raw 'we launched' pitch with no news angle will likely be ignored — lead with what is newsworthy
  • Anonymous tips still require enough detail to verify

What counts as live

A Verge article mentioning or profiling the product is published at theverge.com

Not verified

  • Response expectations or SLA on the pitch form — none stated
  • Whether freelance contributed pieces are accepted via 'pitch a story' vs staff-only coverage
