advertorial/article
without more context, it's hard to know, hence the low CR.
But from what you say, it could be either of these. I used to write advertorials for a local group of newspapers, and this involved writing articles on businesses in as interesting way as possible in a bid to promote the business. Usually, the newspaper/magazine page would be based around a featured article, with all the advertorials surrounding it.
And jolly hard they are to write, as nobody wants to pay for many words, but they still expect you to cram in ALL the info about their businesses! And if there are lots on a page, it's hard to keep them all sounding different!

Comment: "Thanks Carol.
I found out a bit more which suggests they may be city guides (a bit like time out in London)"

news brief
It is just a low-length column-space article, either a summary or a very short piece (often on a "fait divers"). The word "Advertorial" suggests a small paid opinion piece on a given subject. A mini-reportage is just a very brief story that is not necessarily advertiser-driven.
Discussion
Les chargés d’édition auront, de juin à mi août, le temps de prospecter pour porter le nombre de mini-reportages en septembre à 140 ou 150.
