Partnerships
Partnership note: We welcome aligned collaborations, but we do not sell editorial conclusions, compare outcomes, or undisclosed influence over story ranking or coverage framing.
Who we partner with
- Newsrooms, podcasts, and editorial teams exploring new ways to present analysis, briefing, or audience engagement.
- Educators, schools, libraries, and civic-learning organizations using structured discussion to support media literacy and classroom conversation.
- Researchers and institutions interested in AI communication, moderation, discourse quality, or digital-literacy outcomes.
- Brands, sponsors, and launch partners that fit the product’s tone, safety standards, and disclosure expectations.
Partnership models
- Editorial collaborations: interviews, launch coverage, co-hosted explainers, and approved background briefings.
- Education partnerships: classroom pilots, educator feedback sessions, guided discussion resources, and rollout planning.
- Research and evaluation: supervised pilots, qualitative feedback, learning research, and product validation studies.
- Commercial sponsorships: clearly disclosed campaigns, launch-week activations, or audience education programs that keep editorial and sponsorship decisions separate.
Editorial, safety, and disclosure boundaries
- Sponsored or paid collaborations must be clearly disclosed.
- Partners cannot control safety decisions, moderation actions, ranking rules, fact-check outcomes, or admin review processes.
- Generated summaries and comparisons remain outputs and should not be presented as official endorsements by a partner, sponsor, school, or quoted source.
- Any approvals, usage rights, asset requests, or launch conditions should be documented in writing before publication or release.
What makes a good fit
- A clear audience match and a concrete reason the collaboration helps users, educators, or readers.
- Respect for the difference between editorial judgment, generated viewpoints, and paid promotion.
- Realistic timelines, a named owner on your side, and a willingness to coordinate disclosure, approvals, and launch logistics.
- Compatibility with brand-safety, accessibility, classroom suitability, and legal review needs where relevant.
What to send in your first email
- Your organization, target audience, geography, and the main channel or channels involved.
- The goal of the partnership, proposed format, timing, and any required launch date or deadline.
- Your rough budget range if the request includes paid placement, sponsorship, or production support.
- Any compliance, disclosure, procurement, student-privacy, or brand-safety requirements we should know early.
