  1. Step 1 Fill out CNN’s... 1 Fill out CNN’s online feedback form to share ideas or concerns. Select the topic of your feedback from the first drop-down menu on the form, then fill in the remaining fields including your name, email address, and the comment box. Use this form to share ideas about what you want to see covered, make complaints about programming, call out errors, or make other comments to the network.[1]
    • The online feedback form is CNN’s preferred method of communication with viewers and the most likely to get you a quick response.
    • Indicate a specific show or program in the comment box if applicable. The feedback forms from most programs and bureaus take you to the same form.
    • If you're sending a correction, specify when the story was on and what it was about. Corrections should be backed with outside, reliable sources to verify your information.
  2. Step 2 Email CNN at... 2 Email CNN at [email protected]. Send general comments, feedback, complaints, or questions to either email address to reach Customer Service or have your message routed to the proper employee. Save the email address so CNN’s reply doesn’t go to your spam folder.[2] Advertisement
  3. Step 3 Contact CNN or CNN personalities through social media. 3 Contact CNN or CNN personalities through social media. You can reach out to the main CNN pages via their X account or Instagram account. The hosts and anchors who are on social media have their account information on the CNN website. Just go to the CNN Profiles page and click on the name of the person you want to contact. Then, click on their social media account to send them a direct message or tag them on a post.
    • If you wanted to contact Anderson Cooper, for example, you could message him on X or Instagram.

Contacting CNN by Phone

  1. Call CNN Customer... Call CNN Customer Service at 1 (404) 827-1500. This number connects you to CNN’s Atlanta, GA headquarters. Contact Customer Service for any issues with your CNN account, subscriptions, accessibility, or other complaints and issues. Also use this number to leave feedback or tips on a news story, or get help with business or legal inquiries. Ask to speak with a CNN representative after dialing the number.[3]
    • If you’re a member of the media or need to reach the CNN press room, ask to speak to a manager, director, or publicist of a specific CNN program. You can find the list of their PR representatives on CNN’s press office webpage.
Section 3 of 4:

Submitting News Tips

PDF download Download Article
  1. Step 1 Email tips to... 1 Email tips to [email protected]. State what topic your tip concerns in the subject line and include as much information in the body of the email as possible. Include the specific who, what, when, and where so the CNN team can correctly evaluate whether the story is newsworthy or not.
    • Attach any relevant photos, video clips, audio clips, or other media to the email.
    • Include your preferred method of communication if you don’t want CNN representatives replying to your email address.
  2. Step 2 Submit newsworthy tips that are timely, significant, and impactful. 2 Submit newsworthy tips that are timely, significant, and impactful. CNN is a large network with wide coverage, so alert them to leads or stories they haven’t reported on yet that are meaningful to a large number of people. Think like a journalist and consider whether your tip is valuable due to unusualness, humor, prominent figures or celebrities, or timeliness.[4] Areas of interest could include:
    • Conflict: physical altercations, protests, or clashes of ideologies or politics
    • Human interest: stories that provoke an emotional response in the viewer
    • Wide impact: stories that directly affect large portions of the viewing audience (like a large storm closing down major roads in a region of the country)
    • Prominent figures: stories related to public figures, politicians, celebrities, monuments, or events that most people know and recognize
    • Timeliness: something that’s relevant to an ongoing story or current events
    • Proximity: tips with a local tie-in (CNN covers the whole world, but a European bureau might take higher interest in a European story, for example)
    • Humor: a story viewers will find funny (not all news has to be dire!)
  3. Step 3 Report tips by... 3 Report tips by phone to the Customer Service number at 404-827-1500. Follow the menu options to speak to a real person or to leave a message about your tip. Keep it short and sweet—leave your name, your tip or idea, and a way for a representative to contact you for more information.
    • Your message might say: “Hello, my name is Sally Jones. I think you should report on the environmental impact of a new factory in my hometown of Smithshire, NY. It’s having a negative effect on the water quality, but people are not aware of this. Call me back at 555-555-5555 for more information. Thank you!”
  4. Step 4 Send a message through the SecureDrop submission system. 4 Send a message through the SecureDrop submission system. Download the Tor browser, then launch it and wait for it to connect. Copy and paste http://cnn.securedrop.tor.onion directly into the Tor browser, then follow the instructions to submit your story.[5]
    • Use the unique codename assigned to you after your first submission to sign back in, check for responses, and upload more materials.
    • SecureDrop uses the Tor network to obscure your IP address. It doesn’t track or log any metadata about your communications.

    • Send mail to: Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.One CNN CenterAtlanta, GA, 30303
  2. Step 2 Send a letter to CNN Investigates in New York City. 2 Send a letter to CNN Investigates in New York City. If you want to send a tip via mail, type up your tip or story and print it for legibility. Include your contact information inside the letter (don’t leave a return address on the envelope). Drop the letter into a sidewalk USPS mailbox rather than sending it from your home, workplace, or a post office.
    • Address your letter to: Tips℅ CNN Investigates30 Hudson Yards, Fl 21New York, NY 10001United States of America[6]
