Thank you for considering republishing our journalism. At Truthout, we support open access to information and believe in the power of sharing knowledge. We are offering select original articles under a Creative Commons 4.0 license. They will contain this message at the end:

This article is licensed under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0), and you are free to share and republish under the terms of the license.

This means that you are welcome to share and republish this content for free, as long as you comply with the terms of the license.

To republish an article, we kindly ask that you follow these guidelines:

  • Stories must credit Truthout and any co-reporting partners. This includes byline credit and a line at the top of the story that reads, “This story was originally published by Truthout,” where “Truthout” is hyperlinked to the story on Truthout.
  • If you use canonical metadata, please use the Truthout URL to let search engines know that ours is the original version. In the HTML for your article, the tag will look like this: <link rel=”canonical” href=”https://www.sampleURL.com” />. Please make sure that the Truthout article URL is in the tag and not a URL from your website. To learn more about canonical metadata, visit this Google SEO link.
  • You must retain all original hyperlinks.
  • Stories must retain original language. You may not edit our content, except to reflect relative changes in time, location and editorial style.
  • Do not sell advertisements on behalf of Truthout. However, it’s okay for our stories to appear on pages with ads you’ve already sold.
  • Do not ask for donations on behalf of Truthout or imply that donations to your organization support Truthout. It is okay to solicit donations to your own organization on pages where you’ve reprinted Truthout articles.
  • Do not sell our material separately or syndicate it. This includes publishing or syndicating our work on platforms or apps such as Apple News, Google News, etc.
  • Do not scrape our site or repurpose our stories for SEO, ad revenue, or AI training. Unauthorized use of our stories for AI purposes is forbidden.
  • Do not republish all of our articles. You can’t republish all of our content automatically; you must select stories to be republished individually.
  • Any website our stories appear on must include a prominent and reliable way to contact you.
  • If you share republished stories on social media, we’d appreciate being tagged in your posts. We have official accounts for Truthout on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
  • Do not republish accompanying photographs or illustrations, unless licensed to do so. You are welcome to leave out our images or swap in your own.
