TIDEZINE DISCLOSURE
Sponsored & Partnership Disclosure
Clearly Labeled
Content that is paid for by brands, or supported through products, travel, event invitations, or other items of substantial value, will be clearly marked as "Sponsored," "Partner Content," "Advertorial," or an equivalent disclosure in a place readers can easily see. Such content will never be disguised as fully independent journalism.
Editorial Independence
Business partnerships do not give brands the right to demand false statements, hide important limitations, or interfere with editorial content unrelated to the collaboration. Sponsored pieces must still meet basic standards of accuracy, legality, and reader value.
Affiliate Links & Product Picks Articles containing purchase links that may generate commissions will be clearly disclosed. Whether or not a commission is earned should not affect the description of a product's features, pros and cons, or suitability.
Freebies & Trials
Receiving PR samples or free trials does not guarantee coverage, nor does it guarantee a positive review. If a gift or hosted experience is materially relevant to the article's judgment, it will be noted within the piece.
