Advertise With DemocraX

Advertising with DemocraX

We try to cooperate with the advertisers whose campaigns could be represented in an appropriate way to our audience.

Depending on the nature of the campaign and possibilities available, the form of advertising can include:

Formats, placements and conditions will depend on particular situations.

We do not offer advertising packages, audience metrics and performance guarantees that would not correspond to our actual, verified information.

Editorial Independence Comes First

Advertising is not a factor in what we cover editorially.

Neither is there any guarantee of:

• Positive editorial coverage
• Favorable reviews
• Coverage of a particular news story
• Editorial endorsement
• Alterations in independent reporting
• Censorship of legitimate editorial criticism

Sponsored and Branded Content

Sponsored content is not the same as independent editorial content.

In cases where the content is financially supported or otherwise commercially motivated, the nature of the material must be clearly identified so that readers know what they are dealing with.

Links in Sponsored Content and Advertising

In cases where advertising or sponsorship involves links, these links will be treated in accordance with search engine and platform rules.

In terms of paid links indicating a commercial relationship, we must ensure they are qualified correctly. Paid links must be qualified either using the rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attributes, which are recognised by Google.

Who Can Advertise?

We welcome advertising inquiries from companies, institutions, brands, or organisations who have campaigns or products that can be featured in our publication and would be suitable for our audience.

Not all inquiries result in acceptance of an ad or partnership.

An inquiry will be rejected if the advertisement:

• Contains misleading information
• Includes unrealistic or unsubstantiated claims
• Violates laws or platform rules
• Represents a serious threat to our readers' well-being
• Misleads about an organisation, product or service
• Contradicts our editorial policy
• Disguises an advertisement as journalism
• Is unsuitable for our publication and audience

There may be many other legitimate reasons why we reject ad campaigns.
