1 placement, 4 checks in the report
1 sponsored placement gets a clear record from booking through publication. Our report shows what was agreed, what went live and where your team can verify the result. DigitalMedia1 checks the placement record against the confirmed route before sending it.
| Placement route | What it carries | Window | What you send |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sponsored article | Your approved project story | Confirmed before booking | Angle and source links |
| Product explainer | A clear account of the product | Confirmed before booking | Product facts and documentation |
| Founder-led piece | A named viewpoint and its evidence | Confirmed before booking | Founder details and approved claims |
| Launch announcement | What is changing and when | Confirmed before booking | Milestone, dates and official links |
Report checks:
- Placement: the confirmed route and sponsored disclosure.
- Copy: the version approved for publication.
- Link: the live destination after publication.
- Status: completed work and any open follow-up.
For another paid-media format, compare sponsored articles in crypto media. For wider channel planning, start with PR and media.
Which Cointelegraph story route fits your news?
3 story routes can help shape the placement: a launch announcement, a product explainer or a founder-led piece. The right route starts with the reader’s question, not a list of product claims. Your angle needs a clear point. It also needs sources we can check.
A launch story needs the milestone and its timing. It should explain what changes for users. An explainer needs plain product facts and supporting documentation. A founder-led article needs a useful point of view. Link that view to verifiable experience.
Bring one primary goal and one intended reader. Tell us whether the placement must align with a launch window. Flag claims that need internal or legal approval. If you need a news announcement distributed across outlets, compare press release distribution. For another publisher, review CoinDesk publication alongside the Cointelegraph route.
4 inputs to prepare before booking
4 inputs make a Cointelegraph brief easier to review: the story, the evidence, the target window and the approver. Send them together when possible. That gives us a clear starting point to check the format and draft.
- Story angle: one sentence on what readers should understand.
- Evidence: official product pages, documentation and relevant source links.
- Claims: approved wording, restricted statements and supporting facts.
- Approval: one person to consolidate feedback and sign off on copy.
- Timing: your preferred publication window and any fixed launch constraint.
You do not need polished promotional copy to begin. Clear facts are more useful than broad claims about future impact. Add founder details when the story depends on a named voice. Add product links when readers need to understand how something works.
We check for missing sources and unclear claims before drafting or editing begins. Your team remains the source of truth for names, facts and compliance language. For a different editorial route, compare founder interviews and features.
5 steps from message to Cointelegraph report
5 steps take the placement from your first message to the final report. Each step has a clear owner. You know what we need next and what your team must approve.
- Send the angle: share the story, intended reader, target window and source links.
- Confirm the route: we check the available sponsored format, disclosure and booking conditions.
- Prepare the copy: we draft from your materials or refine a draft you provide.
- Approve and submit: your approver checks facts and final wording before publisher review.
- Verify the placement: we send the live link. The final report follows within 2 working days of the window’s end.
A complete source pack helps avoid extra review rounds. One person should gather comments before sending them to us. While a placement is live, we send a report every 24 hours. The working timeline is agreed before booking. The publisher’s review stage appears as its own step.
For a route across several publications, compare BeInCrypto, CryptoSlate and U.Today placements. We keep the agreed Cointelegraph work distinct from any other outlet route in the plan.
What does Cointelegraph decide after submission?
1 publisher review controls whether material is accepted, which format is available and when publication can go live. Cointelegraph makes those decisions. No one can promise acceptance, a specific position or a fixed live date before confirmation. We coordinate the agreed work and document the confirmed placement.
Build review time into your calendar. Avoid tying the entire launch plan to one unconfirmed publication date. If a particular window is essential, tell us before booking. We can check it against the route. Sponsored content must remain clearly identified as paid placement, not presented as independent reporting.
A Cointelegraph placement works best when you have a substantiated story, a responsive approver and flexibility for publisher review. If you need more than a paid placement, compare it with earned-media support or the wider PR and media plan.
Send us your article angle, official source links and target window. DigitalMedia1 checks the route and sends a written quote within 2 working days.

Frequently asked questions
Is a Cointelegraph sponsored article independent coverage?
1 sponsored article is paid placement, not independent newsroom coverage. The paid nature should be clearly disclosed. We keep that distinction visible in the copy plan and handoff. Your team receives the confirmed publication link and placement record, so it can share the article accurately.
What should we send to plan a Cointelegraph article?
4 core inputs help us check the route. They are your story angle, official source links, target publication window and one copy approver. Add product facts, founder details or required compliance language when relevant. We check the material for missing evidence before drafting or editing starts.
Can you work from an article our team has drafted?
Yes. Send the draft with source links and any approved wording. We can refine its structure and readability against the agreed story angle. Your team confirms names, facts, product claims and compliance language before the final version goes to publisher review.
How long does a Cointelegraph placement take?
The window is confirmed after we check the available format and your materials. We also check the publisher’s current review and booking process. Your team’s approval speed also affects the schedule. Send any launch constraint with the initial angle so we can check the route before booking.
Can you promise that Cointelegraph will publish our article?
No. Cointelegraph decides whether the material passes its review, which sponsored format is available and when publication can go live. Acceptance, a particular position and a fixed live date cannot be promised in advance. We coordinate the agreed work and report the confirmed placement accurately.
How is sponsored disclosure handled on Cointelegraph?
Disclosure is included in the placement plan and checked against the agreed format before publication. Your team reviews the final copy. The publisher applies its own process. We describe paid material as sponsored content, not as independent reporting or a newsroom endorsement.
