The article addresses the guidelines for republishing stories from ProPublica, which are outlined clearly for interested parties. Entities are permitted to republish, provided they adhere to several stipulations:
1. Proper credit must be given to ProPublica and any co-reporting partners. The preferred byline format is “Author Name, Publication(s).” The story should begin with the acknowledgement, “This story was originally published by ProPublica,” with the name “ProPublica” hyperlinked to the original story URL.
2. For online republishing, a link to the story on propublica.org must be included. Additionally, all original links, inclusive of newsletter signup language and links, should remain intact. The PixelPing tag from ProPublica must also be used.
3. When utilizing canonical metadata, the URL from ProPublica should be employed. Further guidance on canonical metadata can be found through Google’s SEO resources.
4. The material should remain unedited, except for necessary adjustments relating to time, location, and editorial style.
5. Photographs or illustrations cannot be republished without explicit permission from ProPublica, and inquiries for such permissions should be directed to their contact email.
6. Publications can display the stories alongside advertisements, but ads cannot be sold specifically against ProPublica’s stories. It should not be suggested that donations to the republishing organization support ProPublica’s work.
7. The content from ProPublica cannot be sold separately or syndicated on platforms such as Apple News or Google News.
8. Republishing must not be automated; stories need to be selected individually for republishing. For syndication or licensing queries, their contact email is provided.
9. The material must not be used to populate websites that aim solely to improve search engine rankings or to generate revenue from advertisements.
10. Generally, ProPublica does not permit translations of their stories into other languages.
11. Websites republishing ProPublica stories should provide clear and accessible contact information.
12. If republished stories are shared on social media, it is appreciated if ProPublica’s official accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are tagged.
These guidelines ensure the integrity and original context of the articles are preserved while allowing wider dissemination.
