Magazine Feature Partnerships
Develop occasional or recurring long-form features with a magazine whose readership aligns to a substantial Rotary or community story.
What could this idea change?
Complex local work receives space for context, community voice and evidence that short news formats cannot provide.
A simple way to start
- Study the magazine's sections and propose a reader-specific feature angle. Who could lead it: Feature partnerships lead
- Agree commission, editorial control, fees or sponsorship and deliverables. Who could lead it: Publisher liaison
- Collect reporting material with contributor consent and source records. Who could lead it: Feature producer
- Review supplied facts and rights while leaving editorial judgment to the magazine. Who could lead it: Fact and rights editor
- Approve only Rotary-owned reuse and track reader outcomes. Who could lead it: Content custodian
What should we look for?
- Editor accepts a feature concept matched to readership.
Before we say yes
- Does it fit a real local need?
- Can people take part safely and fairly?
- Are the facts, permissions and Rotary branding right?
- Who will lead it, and when will we review it?
