Republishing Guidelines
The Tribune’s goal is to educate and engage Texans. That’s why you’re welcome to republish our articles and graphics for free using the following ground rules. (Please let us know if you republish our stories; it makes us happy!)
Here’s what you need to know:
Story Republishing Guidelines
1. You must give us credit, ideally in this format: "by Patrick Svitek, The Texas Tribune."
2. If you publish online, you must include the links from the story, and a link to texastribune.org.
3. It's fine to change the story to suit your in-house style (for example, using "Beaumont, Tex." instead of "Beaumont.")
4. If you make changes that are more significant than style tweaks — such as adding a comment from a local official — you need to include a note like this: "Additional reporting by the Rosebud Reporter."
5. You can publish our photos and graphics with the stories with which they originally appeared. For photo licensing questions, email licensing@texastribune.org.
6. When possible, include the following: The Texas Tribune is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
7. If you share the story on social media, please mention @TexasTribune (Twitter and Facebook) and @Texas_Tribune (Instagram)
8. Don't sell the story.
9. Don't sell ads against the story. Feel free, however, to publish it on a page surrounded by ads you've already sold.
10. Articles include a pixel to help us measure the reach and understand the impact of our stories. This tracker captures view counts and helps us break them down by date, your site's domain and from where you grabbed the article. No other information is gathered.
NOTE:
From time to time, The Texas Tribune publishes content written by other newsrooms as part of exclusive partnerships. Stories written by third-party partners are not available for republishing, unlike regular Texas Tribune stories. For questions, email nchoate@texastribune.org.
Multimedia Republishing Guidelines
We encourage you to republish our best online video content, photographs, images and multimedia packages – all we ask is that you follow these multimedia republishing guidelines.
1. You must give us credit, ideally in this format: "by Patrick Svitek, The Texas Tribune." For on-air use, please introduce video packages as "(Reporter) with our political reporting partner, The Texas Tribune..."
2. If you publish online, you must include the links from the story, and a link to texastribune.org.
3. For multimedia, you can't change video or audio packages in any way (included shortening) without receiving clear approval from Tribune editors. In a squeeze? Email multimedia@texastribune.org. If you've been given approval to shorten Tribune content to run as an anchor voice over VOSOT, please provide a verbal or visual curtsey credit — verbal: i.e. "Our partners at the Texas Tribune were there to cover xyz." For visual credit, include in text 'The Texas Tribune' on-screen.
4. If you make changes that are more significant than style tweaks — such as adding a comment from a local official — you need to include a note like this: "Additional reporting by the Rosebud Reporter."
5. You can publish our multimedia pieces with the stories with which they originally appeared. For any other uses, you must seek permission from our multimedia department, multimedia@texastribune.org, as we do not always have the copyrights to pass along.
6. When possible, include the following: The Texas Tribune is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
7. If you share the story on social media, please mention @TexasTribune (Twitter and Facebook) and @Texas_Tribune (Instagram)
8. Don't sell the story.
9. Don't sell ads against the story. Feel free, however, to publish it on a page surrounded by ads you've already sold.
10. If we send you a request to change or remove Tribune content from your site or on-air, you must agree to do so immediately.
