Partnerships

Authentic Spotlight considers collaborations that fit its interest in careful reading and transparent communication. A partnership must be legible to readers and must not blur paid promotion with independent editorial judgement.

Suitable collaborations

We consider clearly scoped educational projects, relevant creative collaborations and partner placements that offer readers a useful connection to media literacy. A proposal should identify the intended audience, the material or placement requested, the proposed timing and any commercial relationship.

Placement and labelling

Accepted paid placements may include partner links or messages in designated areas of the site. They are labelled as partner material and kept distinct from editorial recommendations and article conclusions. Placement does not imply that Authentic Spotlight endorses a partner's wider claims, products or services.

Editorial boundaries

Partners do not determine independent article topics, conclusions or correction decisions. We decline arrangements that require undisclosed promotion, unsupported claims, misleading presentation or control over independent coverage. Send proposals through the Contact page with partnership selected as the reason for writing.
