Editorial Guidelines
Editorial Guidelines
AFV News publishes with a clear editorial standard built around relevance, clarity, credible sourcing, and a stronger fit between the story and the desk where it appears.
What We Look For
Strong submissions usually have a timely angle, a clear business or sector reason to matter, and enough concrete detail for readers to understand what changed. Launches, partnerships, funding events, executive moves, research releases, policy developments, and market signals are all easier to assess when the headline is specific.
We look for stories that suit the publication’s focus on business, technology, energy, startups, finance, real estate, and related industry desks. A vague promotional message without a clear news hook is less likely to fit.
How We Review Material
Editorial review considers clarity, relevance, factual grounding, source quality, structure, and fit with the surrounding category or service path. That includes whether the story reads better as a press release, a sponsored post, a guide, or a category-aligned newsroom item.
We may request clarification, tighter wording, or supporting material when the core angle is present but the draft still needs work.
Standards for Tone and Attribution
The best publishing outcomes come from plain language, verifiable claims, clean attribution, and quotes that add substance instead of empty praise. We prefer direct statements over inflated language.
Bylines, categories, related links, and page structure should support reader understanding rather than hide the source or intent.
What Helps a Submission Move Faster
Include the organisation name, the reason the story matters now, the relevant category, a reliable contact, supporting links or documents, and any timing constraints. Tell us whether the goal is editorial review, sponsored visibility, or distribution support.
When those basics are in place, the process becomes much easier for everyone.
