Re: Does the PGP public key at https://www.washingtonpost.com/anonymous-news-tips/

[Robert J. Hansen via Gnupg-users]

Some years ago after they first published their OpenPGP certificate, Enigmail reached out to them offering training on effective use of OpenPGP and technical support for GnuPG and Enigmail. No cost, Enigmail had a core member who lived near their offices (namely, me), let us know how we can support you.

The Washington Post never responded to repeated emails, not even to say "no thank you".

Draw your own conclusions.

That was what I was thinking. It would be interesting to see how long
the key has been there in such a state.

If the answer is “a long time”, that is quite a field report: it means
signal and whatsapp (!) are more popular options (way more popular
options) than PGP + email for secure communications.
