The Benefits of a PolitiFact Partnership

• 
  

  You will be PolitiFact’s affiliate in your state, fact-checking claims made by all levels of government. You decide what to check and we highlight your work as part of our expanding network.

  
  


• 
  

  Cobrand with PolitiFact and use the Truth-O-Meter. You will receive a co-branded logo to visually align your organization with the national reputation and reach of PolitiFact’s trademark reporting.

  
  


• 
  

  Access all PolitiFact content, including fact-checks created by other state partners and PunditFact with no limits on re-publishing/airing.

  
  


• 
  

  Feature fact-checks on both your website and your own PolitiFact state website. You have the freedom to publish on the platform that makes the most sense for your goals and audience.

  
  


• 
  

  Engage your audience with high-conversion content. State partners report that PolitiFact fact-checks regularly perform better than other types of reporting, driving more traffic, increasing time spent on pages and encouraging higher rates of recirculation.

  
  


• 
  

  Grow your audience through social media. Consult with our PolitiFact audience engagement specialist about best practices and benefit from the national reach of PolitiFact’s social media channels and newsletters.

  
  


• 
  

  Generate new revenue opportunities. As the official PolitiFact state partner in your state, you are welcome to explore local partnerships, fundraise around PolitiFact as a product or host events.

  
  


• 
  

  Launch and execute a membership program. PolitiFact’s membership program is called the Truth Squad. Collaborate with PolitiFact to grow members and raise money locally to support your work.
