Mickey writes, “Fitting in while standing out means designing ads that not only look like editorial content, but strive to have the same editorial value to the reader.
“Bulletin ads are dropped right into the edit flow and appear after every two or three articles. Each ad is labeled as sponsored content. Advertisers have access to editorial tools to help shape their Bulletin to fit in—standard stories, data visualization tools, maps, chart builders, custom illustrations and so on. ‘Our partners have important things to say, too.
