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.

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
publishers@stacker.com. -
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
publishers@stacker.com.

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
