Charter

Take over a platform. Keep your voice.

Run an established OMN platform as a partner, with OMN's technology, distribution and compliance underneath.

Apply as a partner Talk to the desk

Charter is how publishers start with OMN as partners. You take over the management of an established platform: its newsroom, audience and channels.

OMN runs the technology, distribution and compliance underneath. Platform details are shared under NDA, and terms are agreed in the Charter agreement, not on this page.
