Partnerships

Active City Journal considers partnerships that fit urban recreation and help readers understand places, activities or ways to take part. Proposals are reviewed for relevance, clarity and a suitable distinction between partner and editorial material.

Possible collaborations

We consider clearly scoped collaborations such as reader-facing explainers, themed editorial projects and event or activity listings with useful context. A proposal should say who it serves, what it would contain, how it would be funded and what involvement is requested.

Partner placements

We may accept clearly labelled partner placements that appear across the site, including placements alongside relevant sections or article pages. Placement does not imply endorsement, and partners cannot buy control over independent editorial decisions.

Labelling and review

Partner-supported work and placements are identified in plain language. We review submitted material for fit, clarity and claims that readers could mistake for independent reporting. We may decline proposals that are unclear, unsuitable or ask for editorial guarantees.
