Issue Media Group underwriting policy

Issue Media Group underwriting policy

Issue Media Group (IMG) offers its underwriters the opportunity to directly align their brands with content about talent, innovation, diversity, and place. In addition, IMG provides corporations, governments, institutions, nonprofits, and foundations with similarly focused missions a way to use their media budgets to support and expand coverage of job growth, economic development, real estate, non-profit innovation, city building, and place making.

Underwriting is the basis of our model as a publication. Underwriters are considered crucial to our organization and their support is the reason that IMG can produce content within a broad spectrum of topics. Support from underwriters allows IMG to dedicate editorial resources to cover key issue areas that are of importance to both the underwriter and IMG’s mission.

We work with like-minded stakeholders who have shared values and missions. Because of our intersecting interests, we may cover our underwriters' work journalistically. However, IMG observes strict boundaries regarding the direction, review, and approval of content that is published.
