Newsletter and sponsorship

One email a fortnight and one labelled sponsor line

What the newsletter contains, how often it goes out, how sponsorship works, the published rate, and everything sponsorship cannot buy.

What goes out

One email a fortnight. What we published, one correction if we made a mistake, and one short note on the coming weeks that is not on the site: seasonal exposure notes, a reminder about a change in the light, that sort of thing. No products. No offers. No brand names. No affiliate links, in the newsletter or anywhere else.

One sponsor line per issue. It sits after the editorial content, is visually separated from it and is labelled as a sponsor line. It is written by the sponsor, within the limits below, and we do not dress it up as editorial.

Rate: 150 GBP an issue, or 500 GBP for four consecutive issues, exclusive of VAT where VAT applies. Same rate card as the register, published at criteria and rates.

What sponsorship cannot buy

  • A mention in the editorial part of the newsletter, or anywhere on this site.
  • Any influence on what we write, when we write it, or how we write it.
  • Sight of an issue before it goes out.
  • Subscriber data. Not the list, not a segment, not a count broken down in any way that identifies anybody. Addresses are never shared, sold or rented.
  • Exclusivity over a subject we cover.
  • Removal of a correction.

We will not take a sponsor line from anyone selling a sun protection product, a cosmetic, a supplement or a tanning service, for the same reason we will not list them on the register.

Your address

We use it to send the newsletter and for nothing else. Unsubscribe is in the footer of every issue and takes effect immediately. Detail at privacy.

The tide line

One email a fortnight. What we have published, one correction if we got something wrong, and one note on the coming weeks that is not on the site. No products, no offers, no brand names.

We use your address for the newsletter and nothing else. Each issue may carry one labelled sponsor line, which buys no influence over anything we write. Details in newsletter and sponsorship and privacy.
