Rates are introductory and subject to change. The price shown when you book is the price you pay for that campaign.
Underwriting
Underwriting is a sponsor credit, not placement inside the facts. The sponsor never chooses, sees early, shapes or kills a story, and the credit says so. No sponsor on stories about the sponsor, its competitors or its regulator, and none on election coverage. The credit appears to readers and to machines in the same words: on the story page, in the story JSON and as the schema.org sponsor property. We never put sponsor names into summaries, key facts or answers; an AI assistant that repeats our facts without the credit has repeated unsponsored facts.
- Section underwriting$350.00 / month
- Tracker underwriting$150.00 / month
What readers see
Underwritten by Your organization. Your organization had no role in choosing, reporting or editing the story.
