Ars Technica has covered technology, science and policy since 1998. Here is how coverage really works, what is available through our network today, and the guaranteed tech titles you can book now.
Most Ars Technica coverage is earned. Its reporters pick stories on merit, and readers expect technical depth. A strong pitch needs real data, an expert to talk to and a reason it matters now.
Our network also lists sponsored placements on arstechnica.com, with a sponsored label and a no-follow link. We take bookings only when the title is accepting them.
Availability, October 2026: sponsored placements on Ars Technica are listed as on hold in our network. We will not take payment for an Ars placement until it is confirmed open, and our 14-day guarantee applies only once it is. Ask us to check the current status.
The Latin name sums up the site’s approach: technology explained in depth, for readers who know the subject.

Pitch the section, not the whole publication. Each area has its own writers.
| Story type | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| New research with data | Strong | Ars covers science and evidence in depth. |
| Security finding | Strong | Clear impact, with technical detail to check. |
| Expert comment on news | Good | Useful when the expert has real specialist knowledge. |
| Product launch | Weak | Only works if the product is new in a technical sense. |
| Funding round | Weak | Better suited to start-up and business titles. |
Tip for UK companies. Ars covers UK and EU tech policy too. A UK angle on regulation, security or research can work well.
Terms as listed in our network, confirmed in writing before you book. Each one is live within 14 days of your approval or a 100% refund.
