We’re happy that you are considering Government Market News as a new home for your content. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our editorial team at SPI via email, thestrategicpartnershipsteam@spartnerships.com.
Government Market News (GMN) is highly transparent, and it is always made very clear to readers when GMN posts are branded content via disclosure language. Therefore, Sponsored Content must tell a short, easy-to-read story with a headline, body and visual.
The GMN team asks all advertisers to follow the guidelines for Sponsored Content below. These are specific to your company’s article.
SPONSORED CONTENT GUIDELINES:
- AP Style.
- All headlines and body text must be in English and within character limits.
- Headlines are capitalized in sentence style.
- We punctuate branded posts the same way we punctuate editorial posts. Words will rarely appear in all caps.
- All selected posts will include the name of the sponsor and their logo at the top of the post.
GOVERNMENT MARKET NEWS WILL ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING:
- Bullets must include periods at the end of sentences.
- Headlines must be in sentence case.
- Spell out numbers below 10; use numerals for 10 and above.
- Spell out thousand, million and billion.
- Spell out state names versus using a postal code or traditional dateline.
- Em dashes are used to set apart parenthetical phrases or clauses in a sentence and should have a single space before and after the dash.
GOVERNMENT MARKET NEWS DOES NOT ACCEPT CERTAIN CONTENT AND STYLES, INCLUDING:
- Headlines that are more than 60 characters long.
- Posts that are shorter than 500 words or longer than 1,200 words.
- Messages without line breaks. Content 500 words or more should include at least one line break.
- Phrases like “Breaking News” that are suggestive of editorial content.
- Mention of any other brand by name in any context without the written consent of that brand.
- Sponsor names that do not accurately represent the funding entity behind the campaign.
