Advertising Disclosure — NewsReverse
Quick answer: This advertising disclosure explains how NewsReverse labels paid content — advertising, sponsored articles, press releases and affiliate links — so readers can always tell commercial material from independent reporting. Every paid placement is clearly marked in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines, and our editorial is never for sale.
Key takeaways
- Purpose: so you can distinguish paid content from independent reporting at a glance.
- What is labelled: ads, sponsored content, press releases and affiliate links.
- Standard: disclosure follows the FTC endorsement guidelines.
- Editorial firewall: paid placements never influence our reporting.
- Questions welcome: reach us via our contact page.
Why we disclose
NewsReverse is built on verification and accountability, and that has to include being honest about our own commercial content. Disclosure is not a legal box to tick; it is how we keep faith with readers who come here expecting a clear line between what is paid for and what is independently reported. This page sets out that line in plain language.
How we label paid content
- Advertising — display and placement units are marked as advertising.
- Sponsored content — labelled “Sponsored” so it is never mistaken for editorial.
- Press releases — labelled as company-supplied announcements.
- Affiliate links — disclosed where we may earn a commission on a purchase.
What “clearly labelled” means
A label is only useful if a reader actually sees and understands it. We place disclosures where they are visible in context — not buried in fine print — and we use plain words like “Sponsored”, “Advertising” or “Press release”. The goal is that no reader could reasonably mistake a paid item for our independent journalism.
Affiliate links explained
Some articles may contain affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you buy through them at no extra cost to you. We disclose these, and we include them only where the recommendation would hold up without the commission. An affiliate relationship never obliges us to be positive. Our how we make money page covers this in more detail.
The line between paid and editorial
Paid placements buy clearly labelled space and nothing else. They do not buy influence over our reporting, advance sight of stories, or protection from scrutiny. Our independent editorial — the reporting our newsroom decides to do — is never for sale, and we do not sell undisclosed or disguised paid links inside it. If a commercial partner becomes the subject of a story, we cover it on the merits.
What we do not accept
- Undisclosed sponsorship or “advertorial” pretending to be editorial.
- Paid links dressed up as independent recommendations.
- Requests to remove, shrink or soften a disclosure.
- Misleading claims within any paid placement.
Corrections to disclosures
If we ever mislabel a paid item or a disclosure is unclear, tell us and we will fix it openly. We treat a labelling error as seriously as a factual one, because both affect the trust readers place in us.
