Advertising Policies
Last updated August 1, 2026
Advertising funds independent journalism. These rules keep it clearly separated from our newsroom.
Labelling
Paid placements are labelled as advertising or sponsored content wherever they appear, including in newsletters and social posts.
What we decline
We decline ads that are deceptive, that impersonate editorial content, that promote unlawful products, or that target readers based on sensitive categories.
Newsroom separation
Advertisers cannot review, approve or block coverage. Editorial staff do not create branded content.
