Sponsorship Policy
At HNA News, we value the trust of our readers and believe in full transparency when it comes to brand sponsorships and paid partnerships. This Sponsorship Policy outlines how we manage sponsored content and ensure editorial independence.
1. What is Sponsored Content?
Sponsored content refers to:
-
Articles, videos, or posts paid for by a third-party sponsor
-
Content co-created with a brand partner
-
Native advertisements that appear similar to editorial content but are clearly labeled
Sponsored content helps support our journalism, but it is always published with integrity and reader-first values.
2. Clear Labeling
All sponsored content is clearly labeled using one or more of the following:
-
“Sponsored”
-
“In Partnership With”
-
“Promoted by [Brand Name]”
-
“Paid Collaboration”
We never blur the line between editorial content and paid promotions.
3. Editorial Independence
Even when content is sponsored, our editorial team retains:
-
Full control over the final content
-
Authority to decline projects that conflict with our mission or values
-
The right to ensure all sponsored pieces meet our quality and accuracy standards
Sponsors do not influence our news coverage, opinions, or reporting.
4. Sponsored Links and Disclaimers
Sponsored content may contain affiliate or promotional links, which are also disclosed clearly. These links help fund our operations without affecting your experience or the price of any product you purchase.
5. Brand Fit and Relevance
We only work with sponsors that:
-
Align with our audience's interests
-
Offer genuine value to readers
-
Respect journalistic standards
We reject sponsorships from brands that promote harmful, misleading, or unethical content.
