Partnerships

Eastern Sports Network considers collaborations that are relevant to regional sport and useful to readers. Partnership work is kept distinct from independent editorial coverage, with clear labels wherever a commercial relationship applies.

Possible collaborations

We may consider clearly scoped projects such as sponsored explainers, event-related features, reader resources or partner placements that fit the publication's subject. A proposal should identify the partner, the intended audience, the material or placement requested and any timing or approval requirements.

Partner placements

Relevant partner placements may appear across more than one page or section of the site. They are labelled so readers can recognise their commercial or partner status, and their wording does not imitate independent editorial coverage. We do not present a paid placement as an editorial recommendation.

Editorial boundaries

Partnerships do not buy control over independent editorial decisions or guarantee favourable coverage. We can decline proposals that do not fit the publication, obscure who is responsible for a message, or make claims that cannot be presented responsibly. Use the Contact page to outline an idea; details can be discussed before anything is agreed.
