CRN Times may support its journalism through advertising, sponsorships and other commercial relationships. Commercial activity is kept separate from independent newsroom decision-making.
Editorial Independence
Advertisers and sponsors do not determine the conclusions of independent CRN Times news coverage. Purchasing advertising does not give an advertiser the right to approve, rewrite, suppress or require independent editorial coverage.
Third-Party Advertising
CRN Times may display advertisements delivered by third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense. The selection and delivery of individual advertisements may be controlled in whole or in part by the advertising provider rather than by the CRN Times newsroom.
For information about cookies and advertising technologies, see our Privacy Policy.
Clear Labeling
Paid, sponsored or commercially commissioned material should be clearly identified so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial journalism. Advertising should not intentionally imitate editorial content in a way that misleads users about its commercial nature.
Advertising Placement
Advertisements should have reasonable separation from navigation, article links, download controls, buttons and other interactive elements. CRN Times should not intentionally design pages or labels to encourage accidental ad clicks or mislead users about what they are selecting.
Coverage of Advertisers
The existence of an advertising relationship does not prevent CRN Times from reporting independently on an advertiser or sponsor when the subject is newsworthy. A material commercial relationship may be disclosed when relevant to readers' understanding of a story.
Sponsored Content
Sponsored content should be clearly labeled before or at the point where readers begin consuming it. Sponsored material must not knowingly contain fabricated claims, deceptive offers, impersonation, unlawful material or claims presented as independently reported when they were supplied by a sponsor.
Editorial and Commercial Separation
Independent editorial decisions remain under the responsibility of the CRN Times editorial operation. Advertising revenue should not determine whether legitimate independent news is published, removed or altered.
Commercial Inquiries
For advertising, sponsorship and other commercial inquiries, email info@crntimes.com with ADVERTISING in the subject line.
