What to expect when creating a commercial COGNEWS article


What to expect when creating a commercial COGNEWS article

COGNEWS strives to offer a transparent high quality service for all. The following article outlines our expectations for anyone submitting a commercial article for publication whether in print or online. Our aim is to outline our expectations and service level whilst preparing your article. Our heart's desire is that you have an amazing experience with us for many years to come.


Content

It is your responsibility to provide the text, graphics etc for your article, unless otherwise agreed. 


Any work agreed/needed in addition to normal editing will be charged at our normal rate of £35/50 per hour according to the work required. Text typically takes between 1-2 hours and graphics 2-4 hours.


We will inform you of any additional charges or suggestions for improvement once your article information is submitted.


You may only use words, graphics etc that you own the copyright for. We may ask for proof.


Any facts used will be fact checked and if inaccurate or misleading will be removed from the article.


We do not link to social media or platforms such as YouTube where the audience is directed to links of that platform's choosing. This is to preserve the integrity of our customers' experience.


Any pricing used in your article must be up to date and should be updated when needed at your earliest opportunity. You may do so by emailing cheadlecog@gmail.com.  One price only amendment is covered in your initial cost. Any additional costing changes and all other amendments are charged at £35 per change. This also covers the cost of republication and updating the SEO.


All dates and times and places should be accurate. It is your responsibility to let us know in good time (4 working days minimum) of these changes and any other which might affect our readers' experience of your business. Regular failings will result in your article not being renewed.


We recommend updating your article quarterly and in some cases more frequently, this depends on the rate of change for your products and services and new information presenting a further opportunity.


Article length is typically a one to two minute read; anything longer should be split into a series, provided as a document or could be created as a course.


You will need between one and 3 images per article. We do have a vast library of stock images available.


We reserve the right to style the article to suit our audience and will not necessarily use your "voice".


Payment

All articles must be paid in full before going live. 

£150 per article per quarter

£35 for chargeable updates

£35/50 per hour for copy or graphic creations

£5 per stock image - you may not use stock images outside of COGNEWS


KPI's

We aim to turn all "ready" articles around in 3 days and allow 3 days for each editing round excluding waiting for returns. 


Complaints

If complaints are received about your article or your work, your article may be removed without a refund. We will always endeavour to give you a reason for removal to enable you to put right the issue. We may suspend your article whilst you correct the issue.


General Terms

Space in the printed magazine is not guaranteed and articles will be shorter than online. This is entirely at the editor's discretion.


This information supersedes all previous publication of COGNEWS article terms.
