Partnerships With Transparency
NewsPositive works with selected brands, organizations and partners to publish sponsored content that may be relevant and useful to our readers.
Commercial partnerships help support NewsPositive and allow us to continue producing constructive, accessible content.
But one principle comes first:
Readers should always know when content has been paid for.
What Is Sponsored Content?
Sponsored content is editorial-style content created or published as part of a commercial partnership.
It may include:
- Sponsored articles
- Partner stories
- Brand features
- Educational content
- Interviews
- Product or service introductions
- Research or initiative spotlights
- Sponsored guides
- Campaign collaborations
Sponsored content should still provide genuine information, insight or value to the reader.
Clear Disclosure
Sponsored content published on NewsPositive will be clearly identified.
Depending on the partnership, labels may include:
Sponsored Content
Partner Content
Sponsored by [Partner Name]
In Partnership With [Partner Name]
We do not intentionally disguise paid content as independent journalism.
Our Standards Still Apply
Being sponsored does not mean anything goes.
Sponsored content should meet reasonable standards for accuracy, clarity and responsible communication.
We may decline, edit or request changes to material containing claims that are misleading, unsupported or inappropriate for NewsPositive.
Payment does not remove our responsibility to our readers.
Editorial Independence
Commercial relationships do not determine NewsPositive’s independent editorial coverage.
Purchasing advertising or sponsored content does not guarantee:
- Independent editorial coverage
- Positive reviews
- Preferential treatment
- Removal of legitimate criticism
- Influence over unrelated NewsPositive articles
Independent editorial content and commercial content remain separate.
What We Look For
We particularly welcome partnerships around subjects that naturally fit the NewsPositive audience, including:
Innovation · Technology · AI · Health · Wellbeing · Sustainability · Education · Science · Travel · Lifestyle · Finance · Social Impact · Community · Positive Change
We are especially interested in stories that offer readers something beyond promotion.
A strong sponsored story should answer:
Why should the reader care?
What We May Decline
NewsPositive reserves the right to reject sponsored content or partnerships that conflict with our standards.
This may include misleading claims, deceptive business practices, discriminatory material, harmful misinformation, illegal products or services, or content designed primarily to manipulate readers.
We may also decline a campaign simply because it is not a good fit for the NewsPositive audience.
AI and Sponsored Content
AI tools may be used to assist with research, drafting, editing, translation or visual creation.
However, AI-generated material should not be used to fabricate people, quotations, testimonials, research findings or events and present them as genuine.
The sponsoring organization remains responsible for the accuracy of information it supplies to NewsPositive.
Links in Sponsored Articles
Sponsored content may contain relevant links to a partner’s website, product, campaign or additional information.
NewsPositive may determine the number, placement and technical treatment of links in accordance with our editorial, SEO and publishing standards.
Images and Intellectual Property
Partners should only provide photographs, logos, graphics, videos and other materials they have permission to use.
By supplying material for publication, the partner confirms that it has the necessary rights or authorization for NewsPositive to publish it.
Corrections and Updates
If sponsored content contains a material factual error, we may correct or update it.
NewsPositive also reserves the right to modify or remove sponsored material when necessary for legal, editorial, safety or accuracy reasons.
Sponsored Content Is Not an Endorsement
Publication of sponsored content does not necessarily mean NewsPositive endorses the company, organization, product, service or opinions featured.
Readers should make their own decisions based on their circumstances and, where appropriate, seek professional advice.
