Who is StatePoint Media?
StatePoint Media is a first-of-its-kind media company, providing free state and national editorial content to newspapers, magazines and websites. Our editorial products focus on providing top quality service journalism — feature stories that offer tangible information your readers can turn into action. StatePoint Media stories are sourced from highly credible experts at leading non-profit organizations, professional trade associations, government agencies and corporate community affairs departments.

Our editorial team is composed of award-winning journalists whose work has been published in such industry leading media outlets as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, ESPN, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Boston Globe, Cleveland Plain Dealer, Woman's World, TV Guide, Saveur, Food Arts, New York Post, Tribune News Service and many others.

Why should I use your service?
StatePoint Media will save you time and money during your busy production cycle.  Rather than pay other editorial services and writers when you're in need of content, you can use any of our stories or games free-of-charge.  And our unmatched assortment of high quality content — from feature stories and special supplements to abbreviated Short Takes and puzzle games — can be downloaded in a matter of seconds for immediate insertion in your print or online publication.  Furthermore, our strict editorial policy delivers stories that provide your readers with tangible information they can turn into action — StatePoint Media offers "news readers can use," not "fluff" pieces.

How do I receive your stories?
All of our content is downloadable from our password-protected, press-only website (www.statepoint.net). Additionally, websites can sign up for automated content feeds. The StatePoint Media website is password-protected to ensure its use only by media outlets. A one-time registration is required, however, we assure you that the limited amount of personal information we gather is kept confidential and not shared with any third parties.

After you have logged onto the service, individual stories and puzzles can be previewed prior to actual download. Stories are downloaded to your computer as text files, making it easy to copy and paste their content into QuarkXPress, PageMaker or any other newspaper production software. Accompanying artwork is available in TIFF format. You can choose to download a story’s text or artwork separately or together in the form of a "Zipped" file. Finally, you can choose to save files onto your computer or open them directly without saving them to your computer.

What do you do with my personal registration information?
The limited amount of personal information you provide to us at registration (e.g. newspaper name, contact name, title, email, phone) is kept completely confidential. StatePoint Media, Inc. is committed to maintaining the privacy of personal information that you provide to us when using this website and requires registration to insure that only qualified journalists from legitimate news organizations are using this service. We will not sell or rent your personal information to any third party.

What's the catch?
There is none. We assure you there are no guarantees or commitments required by you to use our free content.
