Advertising policy
Advertising may fund the journalism. It does not purchase the journalism.
Separation from editorial work
Commercial staff and partners cannot require favorable coverage, suppress relevant facts, select conclusions, or approve independent articles. Editors may cover advertisers or technology providers when the subject is newsworthy, using the same standards applied elsewhere.
Clear labels
Paid or sponsored material will be labeled with plain terms such as Advertisement, Sponsored, or Paid partnership. Labels will appear before or at the start of the material and will not be hidden in fine print or ambiguous design.
Ad placement
Ads will be visually distinguishable from navigation and editorial content. ClariCurrent will not ask readers to click ads, place ads inside deceptive controls, use pop-unders, or publish empty pages principally to display advertising. Advertising should not exceed or obstruct the primary content.
Sponsored content
Sponsored content will identify the sponsor and the nature of the relationship. It will not carry a standard newsroom byline, imitate an independent investigation, or make unsupported product claims. The sponsor is responsible for its claims; ClariCurrent may reject material that conflicts with reader safety or publication standards.
Affiliate links
If affiliate links are introduced, qualifying pages will disclose that ClariCurrent may earn a commission. Editorial judgment and ranking will not be sold. No affiliate relationship is currently implied by an ordinary external link.
Ad technology and consent
Before personalized advertising is activated for visitors in regions that require consent, ClariCurrent will use an appropriate Google-certified consent management platform and provide controls required by applicable law. See the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
