At NewsOfLosAngeles.com, we maintain a clear separation between editorial content and advertising. Our goal is to deliver transparent, ethical, and responsible advertising practices that respect our readers and protect the integrity of our journalism.

1. Purpose of This Policy

This Advertising Policy explains how ads appear on our website, how advertisers are selected, and how sponsored content is handled.
By using our website, readers agree to the practices described here.

2. Independence Between Ads & Editorial

Advertising does not influence:

    • Our editorial decisions

    • The topics we cover

  • The tone or conclusions of our articles

Editorial staff and advertising teams operate independently.

3. Types of Advertising We Allow

We may display:

  • Banner ads

  • Display advertising

  • Video ads

  • Sponsored articles (clearly marked)

  • Affiliate links

  • Native advertisements (labeled as sponsored)

We do not allow misleading, deceptive, or harmful ads.

4. Sponsored Content

Any content paid for by an advertiser will always include a visible label such as:

  • “Sponsored Content”

  • “Paid Post”

  • “Advertiser Feature”

Sponsored articles are created in partnership with advertisers but must meet our quality guidelines.

They do not influence our independent news coverage.

5. Affiliate Links Disclosure

Some articles may contain affiliate links to products or services.
If you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.

We only recommend products/services we believe provide value to readers.

Affiliate-linked content is reviewed for accuracy and relevance.

6. Advertising Restrictions

We do not accept ads that involve:

  • Illegal products/services

  • Hate speech

  • Political propaganda

  • Explicit adult content

  • Fraudulent schemes

  • Misleading claims

  • Malware or harmful downloads

We reserve the right to reject any advertisement at our discretion.

7. Use of Third-Party Ad Networks

We may work with trusted ad networks such as:

  • Google AdSense

  • Media.net

  • Other industry-standard partners

These providers may use cookies and tracking technologies to display relevant ads.
Readers can control cookies through browser settings or our Cookie Policy.

8. User Data & Privacy

We do not provide advertisers with personally identifiable information (names, emails, etc.).
Advertisers may receive:

  • General demographics

  • Traffic behavior

  • Anonymous usage patterns

All data usage follows our Privacy Policy.

9. Ad Placement Transparency

Ads may appear:

  • In the sidebar

  • At the top or bottom of pages

  • Within article content

  • As pop-ups (limited and non-intrusive)

  • Before or during video content

We ensure advertisements do not block essential content or disrupt user experience.

10. Reporting Problematic Ads

If you see an inappropriate or suspicious advertisement, you can report it to us:

📧 Email: [email protected]

Please include:

  • Screenshot

  • URL of the page
