5.18.1.3 Articles of local interest to base people produced outside official channels (e.g. stringers, local organizations) may be used provided permission has been obtained, the source is credited and they do not otherwise violate this instruction. Articles for off-base, non-profit organizations, including non-profit military-affiliated organizations (e.g. Air Force Association, Air Force Sergeant Association, NCO Association, etc.) must be consistent in length and placement to avoid the appearance of favoritism or implied endorsement.

5.18.2.1 Newspapers do not contain any material that implies Air Force units or member endorse or favor a specific commercial product, commodity or service.

5.18.2.1. Commercial sponsors are mentioned only with other pertinent facts in news stories and announcements. Commercial logos are not allowed unless part of a paid advertisement. Names of commercial sponsors cannot be placed in the headline or lead.

5.18. 2.3 News articles mentioning gifts from civilian sources tied to Air Force programs honoring Airmen of the month, top recruiter, and the like are used only when intent of the article is to report on an Air Force individual honored for professional achievement. The fact a special gift has been donated to the Air Force will be of secondary consideration or not mentioned. Special concessions or privileges must not have been granted the donor, such as a requirement to accompany the article with a photograph of the recipient with the gift, or to publish a statement that implies endorsement of the product or organization by the Air Force or the individual. Photographs of the recipient with the product are allowed, but must be used based solely on news value.
