Cooperative Publishing
The Federal Citizen Information Center (FCIC) of the U.S. General Services Administration assists federal agencies in the development, promotion, and distribution of helpful consumer publications. FCIC has developed an innovative cooperative publishing program that encourages the federal government and the private sector — including foundations, trade associations and individual companies — to collaborate and create timely consumer publications.
Advantages to cooperative publishing include:
- Pooling available resources (staff time, expertise, and budget);
- Combining business and government views and experience on topics of mutual interest;
- Expanding distribution and recognition through an increased number of media outlets
- Building an educated consumer/customer base;
- Engaging in a positive partnership with your federal/ private sector counterpart;
- Building consumer confidence in your company, trade association or agency.
FCIC actively seeks opportunities for government/industry collaboration and helps agencies identify appropriate and interested corporate partners.
Criteria for cooperative publications:
- Receive the endorsement of the appropriate Federal agency;
- Clearly indicate that it is a joint government / industry effort;
- Be an unbiased, objective presentation with clear labeling of industry and government positions whenever present;
- Be free of advertising or promotional messages;
- Give permission for reprinting by educational and nonprofit groups
