Editorial policy

Advertising Policy

Advertising can support local information without controlling it.

01

Clear labels

Advertisements, sponsored placements, and featured listings will be labeled so they cannot be mistaken for independent editorial content.

02

Separation

Payment will not influence news judgment, public-safety summaries, corrections, reviews, or eligibility for a free directory listing.

03

Review and rejection

Creative and destination pages will be reviewed. Misleading, unlawful, discriminatory, unsafe, or community-inappropriate advertising may be rejected.
