Syndication & Republishing

IVN is the only outlet that specializes in covering the growing movement for election reform. For more than 15 years, IVN has covered structural reform issues that are often under-reported or misunderstood by most media outlets. No outlet provides better, more accurate, and contextual coverage than IVN.

When you syndicate IVN, you provide your readers a level of journalism on an increasingly important topic that can't be found or replicated anywhere else.

How to republish an article

Use the "Republish this article" button. Every IVN article carries a Republish this article button that opens the full guidelines and lets a partner copy the piece with its byline, end-of-article attribution, and reader-counting pixel in one step.

The terms, in short. Credit the author and IVN and keep the byline and attribution note; keep the meaning and the headline (light trims and house style are fine); keep the links and the one-pixel tracking image; images credited to IVN may be used with that article only; don't sell our articles or sell ads against them; no implied endorsement; keep opinion and analysis labels; set the canonical URL to the original; and no bulk, automated, or aggregator republishing. Update or remove your copy if we correct or ask. The full terms are below.

Regular syndication and partnerships

For an ongoing arrangement, a content partnership, or a co-published series, contact news@ivn.us. For corrections, translations, or print republication questions, write editor@ivn.us.

The full terms

Republish IVN articles for free. Independent Voter News articles may be republished online or in print under a Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, on these terms:

1. Credit the author and IVN. Keep the byline ("By Author Name, Independent Voter News") and the attribution note at the end, which links to the original.
2. Keep the meaning. You may update time and place references and apply your house style. You may trim for length, as long as the cuts don't change the meaning or misrepresent the author. Keep the headline. Mark any additions as your own (for example "Additional reporting by ...").
3. Translations are welcome. Translate faithfully, add "Translated from English by [your outlet]", and tell us at editor@ivn.us.
4. Keep the links, including the link to the original article.
5. Keep the tracking image. The HTML includes a 1-pixel image that counts readers on your page. It collects no personal information.
6. Photos and illustrations. Images credited to IVN may be used with this article only. Images credited to others (AP, Getty, Unsplash, Wikimedia and so on) stay under their owners' terms. Secure the rights or switch "Include images" off.
7. Don't sell it. You can't sell our articles or sell ads specifically against them. Your normal site advertising is fine.
8. No implied endorsement. Don't suggest that IVN or the author endorses you, your candidates or your causes, or that donations to you support IVN.
9. Keep labels. Opinion or analysis pieces keep that label.
10. Point search engines to the original. Set the canonical URL of your copy to the original IVN article (the HTML we give you includes the tag).
11. No bulk or automated republishing, and don't submit our articles to aggregators (Apple News, Google News, MSN) as your own.
12. Corrections and removals. Update your copy when we correct it, and remove it promptly if we ask. We'll contact you at the email you give us.
13. Questions or print republication: editor@ivn.us.
