Hi everyone,
First time poster but I've been keeping up to date with everything as best I can while in Australia (a lot of the big discoveries are posted when I'm asleep). I don't want to reveal too much about who I am, but I'm a journalist and work for a major media outlet in Australia. Since this story has started taking off, there has unsurprisingly been little to no coverage of this in Australia. I think the only mention I've seen of pizzagate was in an article about Reddit CEO Steve Huffman editing posts, where it connected pizzagate to the 'epidemic' of 'fake news'.
I want to write an up-to-date piece on pizzagate, with all of the most damning evidence: this includes Podesta's emails, screenshots of Instagram, and any other hard proof we've got up our sleeve. Once written, I will be able to release these to Facebook pages and websites relating to my company, some with millions of followers.
Granted, let's just say a few of these aren't the most reputable news sources (think celebrity gossip), but a story like this I think would get a huge amount of attention with their huge following of fans, and might even be safer to post as gossip magazines get away with posting blatant lies.
I've done my own research and will be able to put together a piece covering the general idea, but if I'm going to write this story and release it to the public, I want to make sure I include the strongest pieces of evidence we have. Can anyone tell me what these are so far?

I can't believe you are a real journalist. A real reporter would never announce themself this way and ask for the research of others.
Folks, be very careful of people asking where the info is. Brock and JA know if they find links / images they can have the info removed. Look at how much is already been removed.

You don't have to believe me, but I am. My job includes writing and website maintenance, but this sort of thing would have no relevance on my site. Writing this story would have to be done in my own time outside of work hours, and I don't have the luxury of having lots of spare time to dig up 18-page 8chan threads. I just want to make sure I include the best of what we have so far, and not leave out anything important.

Hey there! I'm also a newcomer to Voat trying to keep up to date as well as I can. I'm an English university student currently in my third year of a journalism course. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind if I sent you some questions I have, as I am currently writing my dissertation on post truth and how people aren't as trusting in the media as they once were. I admire your willingness to come forward as a member of the establishment that so many are losing trust in, and trying to find the truth in a messy pile of shit. If you are interested even in exchanging a few messages on the matter I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you, and good luck on your piece!

Sure thing, shoot any questions you want through to be. Just know that I have to be wary about not giving too much about myself away.

I completely understand, in no way at all do I wish to compromise you or what you are trying to do. If you had some kind of anonymous email I could contact you on, or if you would prefer that I contact you here is up to you. If you wish me to verify myself in anyway then I have no problem with doing that also. Thank you.
