Commercial
Advertising & Sponsored Content
How we keep commercial material separate from independent journalism.
- Sponsored articles are labelled "Sponsored Content" or "Commercial Feature" and name the sponsor.
- Sponsors do not influence independent editorial coverage, and advertising never affects whether a story is published.
- Press releases and company submissions are treated as tips for editorial consideration only. They do not appear automatically and are never published as independent news.
- Display advertising is clearly marked "Advertisement" and kept to a small number of placements.
- We do not accept advertising for products that appear unlawful in the reader's jurisdiction.
