Editorial Firewall

Editorial decisions are made by the newsroom. Business, advertising, and sponsorship teams do not direct or approve coverage. Sponsors and advertisers have no prior review of stories and cannot veto topics.

See our Corrections & Editorial Standards for verification, corrections, and independence policies.

Advertising & Sponsorship Standards

  • Clear labelling: Sponsored content or sections are labelled “Sponsored,” “Presented by,” or “Paid Post.”
  • No deceptive formats: Ads must be distinguishable from journalism and comply with platform policies.
  • Restricted categories: We do not accept ads for illegal products, hate, or misinformation. Health/financial claims require substantiation.
  • Placement: Ads never obscure headlines or alter quoted material; intrusive formats are limited.

Affiliate Links & Recommendations

When we include affiliate links, they are disclosed near the link or at the top of the article. Affiliate partnerships do not influence our selection or evaluation of products or services.

Gifts, Travel & Free Products

We do not accept gifts of value. Review units are returned or donated after evaluation when feasible. Any sponsored travel requires prior approval and is disclosed in the article.

Political Independence

3N does not make political endorsements. We accept no funding from political parties, candidates, or advocacy groups, and we do not sell editorial access.

Transparency Reports

Beginning with the current fiscal year, we will publish an annual summary with revenue shares by category, any material grants, and corrections statistics. Past reports will be archived on this page.
