Partnerships

Local Champion Stories considers partnerships that make sense beside its coverage of local sporting people, places and communities. Clear disclosure and editorial independence come first.

Ways to collaborate

We consider relevant partner placements across the publication, as well as clearly identified collaborations that connect with local sport and its communities. A proposal should explain the organisation or product involved, the intended audience, the format requested and any payment or other support offered. Relevance to readers matters more than reach alone.

Clear labels, separate decisions

Paid or partner-supported material is labelled clearly wherever it appears. Partner placements do not become independent editorial coverage, and a partnership cannot require a favourable editorial decision. We reserve the right to decline work that does not fit the publication, lacks clear disclosure or could confuse readers about who is speaking.

Start a conversation

Send a concise proposal through the Contact page using the partnership option. Include the proposed placement or collaboration, its timing, the support involved and any relevant links or materials in your message. A proposal is an invitation to discuss fit, not a promise of acceptance or publication.
