Editorial policy
Advertising Policy
Advertising can support local information without controlling it.
Clear labels
Advertisements, sponsored placements, and featured listings will be labeled so they cannot be mistaken for independent editorial content.
Separation
Payment will not influence news judgment, public-safety summaries, corrections, reviews, or eligibility for a free directory listing.
Review and rejection
Creative and destination pages will be reviewed. Misleading, unlawful, discriminatory, unsafe, or community-inappropriate advertising may be rejected.
