Advertising Policy
Editorial independence is central to Himalayan Observer. This policy explains how we keep advertising and other commercial content separate from our journalism.
Separation of advertising and editorial
- Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over what we report or how we report it.
- Our journalists do not write advertising copy, and advertisers do not review our journalism before publication.
- We do not accept payment, gifts or favours in exchange for news coverage.
Labelling
Any paid or partner content is clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Partner content", so that it cannot be mistaken for our journalism. Advertisements are visually distinct from editorial content.
What we do not accept
We do not accept advertising that is unlawful, misleading, or that conflicts with the Code of Ethics we follow.
