At Fat City Feed, we value the trust of our readers. To maintain transparency and editorial independence, this Advertising & Sponsorship Policy explains how advertising, sponsored content, and partnerships are handled on our platform.
1. Separation of Advertising and Editorial Content
- Editorial decisions are made independently and are never influenced by advertisers or sponsors.
- Paid content is clearly distinguished from editorial news coverage.
- Readers can trust that our news remains unbiased, regardless of advertising relationships.
2. Types of Advertising on Fat City Feed
We may display the following forms of advertising:
- Display Ads – Banner ads, sidebar ads, and other standard ad placements (including Google AdSense).
- Sponsored Content – Articles, posts, or videos that are paid for by a sponsor. These are always clearly labeled (e.g., “Sponsored,” “Promoted,” or “Advertisement”).
- Affiliate Links – Some articles may include affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if readers make a purchase through those links. Such links do not affect the integrity of our editorial coverage.
3. Standards for Advertisers
We do not accept advertising that includes:
- Hate speech, violence, or discrimination
- False or misleading claims
- Illegal products or services
- Obscene, offensive, or inappropriate content
All advertising must comply with applicable laws, as well as the policies of our ad partners (such as Google AdSense).
4. Sponsored Content Guidelines
- Sponsored stories will always be marked with clear labeling to avoid confusion with editorial content.
- Sponsors may suggest topics, but the final editorial review is performed by our team to ensure accuracy and quality.
- We will not publish sponsored content that conflicts with our values or misleads readers.
5. Reader Trust & Transparency
- We believe in full disclosure. If content is sponsored, promoted, or includes affiliate links, it will be clearly identified.
- Our first responsibility is to our readers, and we will never compromise journalistic integrity for financial gain.
