At JournosNews.com, we strive to maintain a clear separation between editorial content and advertisements. This policy outlines the types of advertising we accept, how advertisements are displayed on our website, and the rights and responsibilities of both advertisers and users.
1. Acceptance of Advertisements

2. Sponsored Content
Sponsored content or “advertorials” are articles or media created in collaboration with a brand or sponsor. Sponsored content is designed to fit within the editorial style of JournosNews.com, but it will always be clearly labeled as such to distinguish it from independent editorial content. Sponsored articles will include one of the following disclosures:
- “Sponsored Content”
- “In Partnership With [Sponsor Name]”
- “Paid Advertisement”

Advertisements on JournosNews.com may appear in the form of banners, pop-ups, sidebar ads, or other formats. We ensure that advertisements are clearly distinguishable from editorial content by using labels such as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored.”
4. Third-Party Advertising Networks
We may display ads served by third-party networks such as Google AdSense or other ad exchanges. These third-party vendors may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information about your use of the website. This data may be used to serve ads tailored to your interests (often referred to as interest-based advertising).

6. Native Advertising
Native advertising refers to paid content that matches the look, feel, and function of the editorial content surrounding it. We ensure that native ads are clearly labeled as advertisements. Users can expect transparency with sponsored content being explicitly disclosed in the following manner:
- “Sponsored By [Sponsor Name]”
- “Promoted Post”
