Definition

What is an editorial project?

It is when the organization stops depending only on third-party channels and starts having its own outlet.

An editorial project has the same requirements as any publication: editorial line, story selection, reporting, editing, visual identity, distribution and frequency. The difference is in who publishes and for whom.

MediaLink has taken part in projects in a variety of formats, from magazines and institutional websites to video debate programs and a radio station. The details are on the projects page.

Concept
Audience, proposition, name, format and frequency.
Launch
Identity, platform, team and production flow.
Management
Story selection, production, editing and publication, edition after edition.
Evolution
Audience reading and format adjustments.

A good owned outlet informs first. The brand shows up as a consequence.

How it works

From diagnostic to measurement, in four steps

Editorial projects follow the MediaLink Method.

  1. Diagnostic

    Audiences, existing channels and room for an owned outlet.

  2. Strategy

    Concept, editorial line, format and launch plan.

  3. Execution

    Launch and ongoing production.

  4. Measurement

    Audience, feedback from the audiences and evolution of the project.

Who it is for

Who it is for, and when it does not make sense

It makes sense for

  • Organizations with a defined audience and topics to publish regularly.
  • Associations that need to inform members and the sector.
  • Companies that want an owned relationship channel.
  • Independent journalism projects that need production and promotion.

It is probably not for

  • Those who cannot keep up the frequency.
  • Those who want a product catalog that looks like a magazine.
  • Those with nothing to say beyond their own company.
  • Those who expect a large audience in a short time.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about editorial projects

Have an owned outlet in mind?

Talk to MediaLink
Does MediaLink handle only the content or the whole project?
The whole project, when needed: concept, launch and management. It is also possible to hire just one stage.
Is an internal team necessary?
No. MediaLink can coordinate the project team. When the organization has a team, the work is done jointly.
Who handles design, video and technology?
Specialized partners from the ecosystem, with methods aligned with MediaLink's.
Does an editorial project replace the press?
No. The owned outlet speaks to the organization's audience. The press speaks to wider audiences. The two complement each other.
Where does it start?
With a communication diagnostic, which assesses whether there is an audience and enough subject matter for an owned outlet.
