The article we publish may differ from the material you submit.

Articles may be edited to conform with strict editorial guidelines. Any editorial or image changes will be at the editor’s discretion.

9.1 Use of company logos

(a) It is our strict policy NOT to run company logos with client editorials.

(b) If we bend this rule for one company, we are obliged to do it for all.

(c) Logos are more appropriately included with paid advertising.     

9.2 Use of images

(a) Images should be supplied in either Jpeg or TIF format. High res (print quality)

(b) Images (1mb-3mb) are preferable.

(c) At least two images should be supplied if possible to assist with layout options.

(d) There is NO guarantee images will be used with editorial. (This will be determined by available space and image quality)    

9.3 Some conventions of editorial:

(a) Don’t refer to your business in the first person (i.e. “we”, “our”, “us”).

(b) Don’t say the business is “pleased” (or “proud” or “happy”, etc) to do something, unless it is within a quotation.

(c) Use full sentences – remember that it is an article not a classifieds entry.

(d) Bullet point lists can be an exception to this rule, but don’t have too many points.

(e) Make sure you provide a full article within the word limit (usually 150-200 words).

(f) You can provide additional words, which we may publish if space permits.

(g) If you do this, make sure the main points are at the beginning, so we can delete excess words.

(h) Alternatively, you could send separate long and short versions.

(i)  Try to write with clarity and style. This is very important if you want us to print multiple, long or unsolicited articles.

(j) Important technical specifications are okay, but don’t go overboard. Try to tell readers about the practical benefits of your product in everyday language.
