Style and credit guidelines:
We encourage differing opinions to allow for a diverse dialogue. We want to champion the individual voices of contributors to The Agenda, and with that comes ownership of ideas.
When writing your post, the thoughts and opinions shared within it are your own, so first-person narrative is encouraged. Please refrain from speaking on behalf of Impact Communications, and stay away from using phrases or positioning such as “like us, our, we.”
Our recommended word count per post is between 400-700 words; we are flexible with length, but often less is more. Please provide a high-res photo with caption and be sure to cite your references and credit and caption your images.
