National magazine — branded content section
Does a TIME article count as O-1 evidence?
It can, but read the caution below before you rely on it.
Our rating: Name value — read the caution. That is our editorial judgement, not a legal opinion — your attorney decides what goes in the file.
Why it counts
One of the most recognisable mastheads in the world, and the logo carries real weight in a room. But what we can place is branded content, not journalism, and that changes what it is worth as evidence.
The angle that works here
Significance over detail — the wider relevance of your work rather than a product description.
Before you buy it
Read this before you buy it. The placement runs in TIME's branded-content section, and the page itself states: “Branded Contributor Content. Time editorial staff was not involved in its creation or production.” The page is also marked nofollow, so it passes no search value. An adjudicator reading that disclosure has been told by the publication that it is not editorial — so treat this as name value and never as your strongest exhibit. We would rather you spent the $6,000 on three authored features elsewhere.

What happens after you buy
A named person emails you to confirm the outlets and the start date.
We write the article. You get the draft and two rounds of changes — you do not write it. A third rewrite is charged as a new article at $300.
It goes to the publisher and runs. Turnaround per outlet is on its card before you buy.
You get the live URL and a PDF capture. Not published inside 30 days and you are refunded.
