The Yappie is proud to be part of a diverse cohort of newsrooms launching reporting projects as part of the Solutions Journalism Network’s Advancing Democracy initiative. During Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in May, we rolled out three longform articles which may be republished for free, as long as you follow some basic ground rules.
- Story #2: Resilience in community: Marshallese leaders race to fill gaps in aid amid ‘existential threats’
What you can do
You may republish all text and hyperlinks in a story online, as long as you abide by the terms stated below.
You must credit The Yappie in the following ways:
- In the byline, we prefer “Author Name, The Yappie” with a link to theyappie.com.
- At the top of the text of the story, you must place a prominent line that reads: “This story was originally published on [DATE] by The Yappie. Sign up here to receive The Yappie‘s essential briefing on Asian American + Pacific Islander politics and support their work by making a donation.”
- The words “originally published” must link back to the URL of our version of the story, not our homepage. You must preserve the hyperlinks to our sign-up page and donation link.
- At the end of the story, you must include the text: “The Yappie (theyappie.com) is a nonpartisan publication fiscally sponsored by the Asian American Journalists Association and dedicated to tracking Asian American and Pacific Islander power, politics, and influence.”
You may not edit, cut, or alter a story, except to suit your in-house style. All original hyperlinks, including calls to action from The Yappie, must be retained.
