"as seen on" - Bragging with media coverage #483

Open marcusnovotny opened 8 years ago

marcusnovotny commented 8 years ago

What do you think about sth like this on the homepage?

Seems really impressive with all our amazing media coverage and adds credibility. For the big names only of course, like the guardian, telegraph etc...

I don't know if we are allowed to but their logos on the page! We should write to the different newspapers and figure it out

jorjo1 commented 8 years ago

I've seen it on many companies' pages. Tho the media are writing about our content and tehrefore we are linking to their articles. So I see no problem.

gyachdav commented 8 years ago

We'll run with the TUM press office for legal opinion. I'll get back to you shortly.

sacdallago commented 8 years ago

I'm becoming good at spotting these things:

Hi Guy,

whenever you use a logo, you need a (written) permission to do so. If you just name the publication and give a link to their article, that's okay.

Greetings

Andreas

So: We can only cite the source and put a link to the article! We could use something like goo.gl or tinyUrl to shorten and "normalize" the urls for the articles

marcusnovotny commented 8 years ago

We could just use buttons that link to the articles and write the names in plain text. Less fancy but saves us the hassle of contacting all the papers

mammuth commented 8 years ago

I'd suggest to contact a couple of the largest papers (3-5) and list their images in a row. Below that just list all other links in 2-3 columns.

sacdallago commented 8 years ago

Gimme a list of papers @mammuth pls, I'll see if our email correspondence there's something I can forward you. The PR group can take care of this? @marcusnovotny

mammuth commented 8 years ago

Maybe try to get a permission from:

Otherwise - if you already have correspondence with certain papers, let's just take them (if they're not thaat small)

sacdallago commented 8 years ago

I've sent @marcusnovotny some contacts. The PR people will take it from here and report back once we have confirmations.

In the meantime we can make it like this: The Guardian , BBC, ...

And later we simply swap out the text with the logo

jorjo1 commented 8 years ago

CNN

marcusnovotny commented 8 years ago

Just greek cnn though. Wouldn't use that

marcusnovotny commented 8 years ago

Reached out to Time, Telegraph, Guardian, USA TODAY College, Süddeutsche, BBC Radio 5 Live News. Should be enough for now, let's wait what happens. @gyachdav wants us to focus on campaigning first and foremost!

marcusnovotny commented 8 years ago

Got a reply from the Guardian author that literally just says "of course that's fine! Go ahead". Sure we even need confirmation in the first place?

sacdallago commented 8 years ago

Yes!
