What changes when Rythm is on.

Three concrete scenarios, written for this audience.

Editors, sources, and producers reach you on day one.

Anyone you have ever exchanged email with is on your guest list automatically. Editors, recurring sources, and the desks you file to flow without friction. Story comms stay story comms.

Source impersonation lands elsewhere.

A spoofed message claiming to be a known source asking to "verify" a quote, or claiming to be a colleague asking for files, either has to pay the cover charge or sit in the unverified folder for your review. Either way it never lands silently in your main inbox. The verification you do is on a number or Signal handle you already have.

PR firehose drops to signal.

Generic press releases, "exclusive" embargoed pitches, and corporate spokespeople wanting comment hit the cover charge. The PRs that pay four cents to reach you are the ones who actually read your beat. Most do not.

What Rythm is not for, here.

Rythm is not a tip line, not a SecureDrop replacement, not a Signal substitute, and not a substitute for the operational security practices your publication uses with anonymous sources. It does not provide encrypted messaging, anonymous submission, or document handling. Rythm sits in front of your inbox and decides who gets through. Sensitive source communication should still use the channels your publication has already vetted.
