Community News Partnerships

What could this idea change?

Under-covered local activity becomes visible through a publisher whose audience and editorial standards are already established.

Could this work in our club?

• Local newspapers, neighbourhood newsletters, independent digital publishers, community contributors and Rotary editorial liaisons. Use when a publisher wants regular community material but has limited reporting capacity.

Before you start

• Written editorial purpose, frequency, selection rules and contact responsibilities.
• Contributor consent, fact-check, image-rights and corrections workflow.
• Clear separation of editorial content, sponsorship, advertising and Rotary notices.

At the end: Return publication links and edits to contributors, resolve corrections through the publisher, and adjust the story mix using audience and representation evidence.
