Advertising Policy

Advertising is limited, reviewed, and separated from editorial judgment.

Advertising may help cover operating expenses and continuity, but it must not overwhelm the reader experience or influence coverage decisions.

Reviewed placementsAds, sponsorships, affiliate links, and paid placements require approval before publication.

Clear labelingCommercial material must be labeled so readers can distinguish it from editorial work.

Editorial independenceAdvertisers do not receive assignment control, headline control, source access, or suppression rights.

Reader experienceHigh-quality, limited placements are preferred over clutter, intrusive tracking, or ad-heavy layouts.
