Partnerships & Collaboration

Research Collaboration

We partner with academic researchers, think tanks, and research institutions to explore important questions about digital infrastructure. Research partnerships might involve:

• Joint research projects examining digital systems and public technology
• Editorial coverage of research findings with institutional credibility
• Collaborative analysis and investigation of infrastructure questions
• Co-authored editorial materials that combine research rigor with journalism

Editorial Syndication

We are open to content syndication partnerships with other media organizations, publications, and platforms that share our editorial values. Syndication partnerships maintain editorial integrity while extending our reach:

• Selective republication of Maben articles
• Cross-promotion and editorial exchange
• Collaboration on specific investigative projects
• License arrangements for educational and institutional use

Institutional Media Partnerships

We develop partnerships with universities, research centers, and civic institutions interested in supporting independent editorial work on technology and infrastructure:

• Educational partnerships for classroom and student use
• Research publication partnerships with academic institutions
• Community engagement partnerships with civic organizations
• Institutional sponsorship of specific editorial projects

Commissioned Thematic Features

For institutions committed to public understanding of technology issues, we develop commissioned editorial projects on specific themes:

• Comprehensive analysis of specific infrastructure topics
• Editorial collections on emerging technology questions
• Institutional white papers and analysis documents

All commissioned work maintains complete editorial independence. Sponsors support research and publication while having no control over editorial conclusions or presentation.
