Russian term or phrase: заказная статья

В английском есть sponsored article, но у этого выражения другое значение: это просто рекламная статья, а заказные статьи обычно пишут с какими-то скрытими целями.

planted article

Explanation:
I'm not absolutely sure of the terminology used when the Soviet Union would place anti-American articles in the Third World media through intermediaries and agents, but this is what comes to mind.

Maybe secretness is not the main part of the concept. The main idea is that somebody paid (or ordered) the reporter to say certain things. However, reporters usually do not say, "I was paid by so-and-so to present a biased view of so-and-so."

заказная статья a piece of journalism for hire

Explanation:
Another expression that comes to mind is "commissioned article". This, of course, would not convey the idea that the piece in question may have been implicitly commissioned. One who writes such a piece might be called a "hired pen."

заказная статья feature article

Explanation:
I am not completely agree with your "заказные статьи обычно пишут с какими-то скрытими целями" especially with 'скрытими целями' - sometimes, yes, but basically, the goals of those articles are quite 'surfaced' - to promote something or somebody, or, on the contrary, to downgrade (or alike) something (or somebody by revealing some info or simply highlight the events / characteristics in a certain light, under a certain (biased) angle, etc. Anyway, I hope it helps.

заказная статья partisan article

Explanation:
http://www.thedailystar.net/magazine/2004/04/02/letters.htm

I think this is the most partisan article to ever come out of your esteemed magazine. How could you publish something that is so obviously pro-BNP?
http://kyle.brendoman.com/archives/007779.html

I was googling the article title and ended up here. I attend college in the midwest and Southwest Baptist University- and this add is tricky. This overtly partisan article is a little truth spread over a big block of lie.

В принципе, легко возразить, что автор сам может быть инициатором партизанщины, без всякого заказа. Но мне почему-то кажется, что смысл, вложенный в оба слова, одинаков - тенденциозность, искажение фактов в пользу определенных выводов. Т.е. идея будет донесена, да и в американском английском \"партизан-одиночка\" явно \"не катит\", при этом слове возникают немедленные ассоциации с принадлежностью к какой-то группировке. ИМХО.

The most biased article I have read to date:

This is by far the most biased article I have read to date - Bush Releases Proposed $2.23 Trillion Budget. When Clinton was out there proposing the largest government budgets in the history of the US, no one said a word. Yes, I am personally critical of what Bush has proposed and unlike the current Governor of Wisconsin, he is incapable of cutting programs to help pay for the increses he wants. The least he should do is grow some bigger gonads and simply start cutting programs that the Republicans are philosophically opposed to. This is why I wish we would -- for just 4 years -- have an independent in office. I digress - the article sucked (regardless of whether I agree with Bush or not) and is one of the most blatantly slanted article I have read. There, I repeated myself twice.

заказная статья advertorial

Explanation:
И пусть я буду юбилейным (десятым) отвечающим (если ещё никто не опередит... :-) - но всё-таки.

Вот две ссылки:

Ссылка 1 (кстати, рекомендую обратить внимание на wordspy.com - отличный источник новых слов!):
Advertorial - An advertisement designed to resemble editorial content.
Example Citation:
One last note about [travel] guides: Be wary of any that are published as advertorials. For example, many guides published by credit card companies include only client restaurants.

По ссылке №2:
Definition: An advertisement that has the appearance of a news article or editorial, in a print publication.

Если ещё надо усугУбить :-), подчеркнув, что статья не просто "заказная", а "совсем заказная" (реклама торчит наружу, в открытую чернят конкурентов и т.д, по-русски называемое "чёрным PR" или "джинсой") - то я бы в английском переводе усугубил unmarked advertorial или как-то вроде - в цивилизованных изданиях (если advertorials там вообще есть) они помечаются специальной рубрикой, цветом фона страницы - или другими "красными флажками". Или хотя бы пометкой "публикуется на правах рекламы" (это в России).

Удачи!

And, finally, if your article is about Russia, you can use \"zakazukha\" - plenty of examples on non-Russian sites as well (with explanation in backets, of course).

Good luck!
