Partnerships

Rural Sports Journal considers collaborations that fit its focus on rural sport, its places and the communities around play. We accept clearly labelled sponsored features and partner placements, provided they are relevant to readers and can be presented transparently.

Suitable collaborations

Potential collaborations may relate to rural sporting places, participation, club culture or equipment and objects connected to sport. We consider proposals for sponsored editorial-style features and partner placements across the publication. We do not accept material that requires us to disguise advertising as independent coverage or make claims we cannot responsibly present.

Clear labelling

Sponsored and partner material is labelled so readers can identify its commercial relationship. Labels are placed where they are visible and understandable. A paid placement does not confer editorial approval, and commercial partners cannot dictate independent editorial conclusions.
