Our audience includes government analysts and anyone else interested in government analysis, including members of the public.

By submitting the form, you agree we reserve the right to edit and publish your content in our communication channels including but not limited to AF News and our website.

Submission top tips

  • Contributions should be 150 words max, keeping the information succinct and high-level. We accept bullet points as well if this is easier for you.
  • Use plain English (the Hemmingway app is a handy tool).
  • Consider whether your content is relevant to our audience and think about what you want the reader to think, feel, or do after reading your contribution (for example, clicking on a link to online content, volunteering for an opportunity, or contributing to some research).
  • Include your contact details or ‘call to action’ for the reader.
  • Spell out abbreviations and acronyms in the first instance and provide some context you think might be useful for people who might not know anything about your team or the work.
  • If you have more detailed content (longer than 150 words), please submit a request to publish content on our website. Alternatively, if your content has already been published online, please provide a link to it in your answer to Question 6.
