Editorial Tentpole FAQs
Q: Are editorial tentpole articles the same thing as Sponsored Content?
A: No, Sponsored Content articles are written to promote something specific that an advertiser is offering or with a specific brand in mind. Editorial tentpole articles are a gathering of organic content written by our team here at Blavity, and our valued publishers, all relating to the specific topics outlined here. Blavity Sales will sell advertising with the understanding that the advertiser will only run on said content.
