PolicyViz accepts sponsored blog posts in rare occurrences. Sponsored posts must meet the high quality of the platform and meet the needs of the reader. Topics of interest include data visualization or presentation tools (including tutorials); issues around race and ethnicity in data and data visualization; and cutting edge technology in the data ecosystem.

Each sponsored blog post will be marked with a “Sponsored by…” tag at the bottom of the post and all links will be tagged with both the sponsored and nofollow tags.

PolicyViz retains all rights to published content on PolicyViz.com and will work with the writer on editing to maintain the highest quality.

The PolicyViz newsletter offers a behind-the-scenes look at the work going on at PolicyViz.
