Editorial Standards
Advertising Policy
How advertising supports our journalism — and the wall that separates it from the newsroom.
Last updated August 2026
Separation of advertising and editorial
Advertising helps fund our reporting. It does not influence it. Advertisers receive no advance notice of coverage, no review of articles, and no say in editorial decisions. See our Ethics Policy for related standards.
Labeling
Any sponsored or paid content is clearly labeled as such and is visually distinct from editorial reporting. Sponsored content is not produced by our newsroom staff.
What we will not do
- We do not sell favorable coverage or product placement in articles.
- We do not allow advertisers to review editorial content pre-publication.
- We do not disguise advertising as independent journalism.
Affiliate relationships
Where an article contains an affiliate or referral link, it is disclosed. Such arrangements never determine which products or strategies we cover.
