Advertising Policy Affective January 1st 2022 – CTN News Media relies on a wide range of business advertising models to generate the income needed to offset its operating expenses.
We often combine different models to fund our activity. This is because we believe that more opportunities of funding give greater freedom and self-determination. Whatever the reality, we are well aware that sponsorship might imperil editorial independence
When accepting sponsorship or advertising from companies, societies or other organizations, CTN News applies the following procedures:
All advertisements and commercially sponsored publications are independent from editorial decisions. CTN New does not endorse any product or service marked as an advertisement or promoted by a sponsor in CTN News. Editorial content is not compromised by commercial or financial interests, or by any specific arrangements with advertising clients or sponsors.
