Publication & Web Advertising Policies
NEA Today is published and nea.org exists for and on behalf of the NEA membership. The Association reserves the right to unilaterally reject, omit, or cancel advertising that it deems to be not in the best interest of the NEA or that, by its tone, content, or appearance, is not in keeping with the essential nature of nea.org.
The National Education Association believes that personnel policies and practices must guarantee that no person be employed, retained, paid, dismissed, suspended, demoted, transferred, or retired because of race, color, national origin, religious beliefs, residence, physical disability, political activities, professional association activity, age, size, marital status, family relationship, gender, or sexual orientation, and will not knowingly permit its website, as ad media, to be used by others in support of discriminatory practices.
To this end, the following policy was adopted by the NEA Representative Assembly:
“All businesses and organizations that choose to advertise their services and products in NEA publications shall agree to practice NEA policies of nondiscrimination.” The Association reserves the right to refuse advertising submitted for the purpose of airing sides of controversial, ethical, or professional issues.
Terms and Conditions
Advertising contracts received are subject to the conditions of our current rate card. Advertising rates are subject to change with sixty (60) days’ notice. The advertiser and/or advertising agency are jointly responsible for payment of all advertising placed in any NEA publication. The forwarding of an insertion order or space contract shall be construed as an acceptance of all rates and conditions set forth in this rate card.
All advertising is subject to the approval of the publisher, who reserves the right to exclude advertising that does not meet the publication’s standards and to reject or omit any advertising for any reason at any time without liability, even if the advertising was previously acknowledged or accepted. The publisher also reserves the right to insert the word “advertisement” above or below any copy.
The advertiser and its agency, if applicable, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the publisher against all loss, liability, damage, and expense arising out of the copying, printing, or publishing of its advertisement, except when such issues are directly or proximately caused by the publisher’s negligence, willful misconduct, failure to comply with applicable law, or breach of this agreement.
If, for any reason, NEA Today fails to meet its circulation rate base, the advertiser or advertising agency shall be entitled to an adjustment of the advertising rate equal to the percentage of circulation not delivered.
Position stipulations on insertion orders (with the exception of covers) will be regarded as requests only, unless guaranteed in writing by the publisher. The publisher is not liable for rebates or reruns related to clip-out coupons.
All orders are accepted subject to acts of God, fires, strikes, accidents, or other occurrences beyond the publisher’s control that prevent the publisher from partially or completely producing, publishing, or distributing any NEA publication. Advertising material is destroyed one year after publication unless otherwise instructed.
