Stacker believes in making the world’s data more accessible through storytelling. To that end, most Stacker stories are freely available to republish under a Creative Commons License, and we encourage you to share our stories with your audience. There are a few guidelines and restrictions, which you can review below.
To publish, simply grab the HTML code or text to the left and paste into your CMS. In doing so, you’re agreeing to the below guidelines.
- Attribution: Make sure to always cite Stacker as the original source of the story and retain all hyperlinks within the republished text – whether to Stacker, our data sources, or other citations. Always incorporate a link to the original version of the article on Stacker’s website. Additionally, always indicate that the article has been re-published pursuant to a CC BY-NC 4.0 License and include a hyperlink to the following URL: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/?ref=chooser-v1. To avoid publishing duplicate content, we also ask you to point the canonical tag back to the original article noted in the code. Click here to learn more about canonical tags, and if you have any technical questions, just let us know.
- Edits and Derivative Works: You’re welcome to run our story verbatim on your website. But you can also make copy edits, retitle the article, extract specific paragraphs, or put the story into your own voice. Please just attribute Stacker, link back, and note the types of edits that were made.
- Non-Commercial Use: Stacker stories may be used for editorial purposes only. As long as they are published in an editorial context, you can run ads against them. However, you may not resell our articles, sublicense, charge for access to, or resyndicate them on any aggregation platforms, including but not limited to Apple News, NewsBreak, MSN, or Google News.
- Visuals: Visuals, including photography and graphics, that accompany our stories are not included in this license, and rights to all image content must be separately secured from Stacker or the applicable rights holder. If you’re interested in becoming a Stacker Distribution Partner and receiving rights to use the images that accompany a story, email us at [email protected].
- Story Counter: We include a Javascript snippet in the code so that we can keep track of where our stories are published. This is critical to keeping Stacker’s journalism freely available. We only track the URL and number of page views – no user information is collected at all.
Stacker distribution partners receive a license to all Stacker stories, as well as image rights, data visualizations, forward planning tools, and more. If your organization is interested in becoming a Stacker distribution partner, email us at [email protected].
Stacker offers its articles as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind. In no event will Stacker be liable to you for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Creative Commons License or your use of Stacker’s articles.
