Sponsored content policy
Paid support must be visible and must not purchase editorial conclusions.
This review-gated draft defines the minimum public boundary for sponsors, produced integrations, affiliate relationships, and related entities.
Draft · commercial and counsel review required
Labeling and independence
- Disclose a paid relationship where an audience encounters the content.
- Distinguish a sponsor message from CLN reporting and analysis.
- Do not promise coverage, a favorable conclusion, a legal outcome, or an undisclosed endorsement.
- Keep corrections and editorial review under CLN control.
- Identify related-entity roles when that relationship could matter to a reasonable reader.
Measurement and data
Campaign reporting uses agreed, source-dated, PII-free measurements. Newsletter contacts, AMA questions, legal matters, and private audience records are not sponsor deliverables.
