I believe this article named all the journalists whose advice they quote, which is good. Some usual suspects (Kabas, independent, and Suebsaeng, Rolling Stone), but oddly, a Wall Street Journal and NYT reporter. I thought both of those orgs had been caught, neutered and released by the White House. I personally would think 3 times about going to either of those orgs.

Really basic stuff, for the most part.

Though I'd add that for could-be-serious stuff, you must make sure you're picking an outlet and a reporter who really have their OPSEC & SIGINT sh*t together. And that combination is, sadly, pretty rare.
