How this publication may be funded
Mohawk Valley Voice may earn revenue from display advertising, sponsorships, paid announcements or affiliate links when those arrangements are active. Advertising helps support publication, but an advertiser does not control independent editorial decisions.
Recognizing paid material
Paid editorial-style content must carry a clear label, such as “Paid advertisement” or “Sponsored advertising content,” and identify the advertiser or sponsor. The label belongs near the headline and on promotional cards or previews when readers need it to recognize an advertisement before opening the page. It must remain easy to notice on mobile screens. Display placements must be recognizable as advertising.
A general disclosure page does not replace a label on the paid material itself. Labels must remain with paid material when it is shared or republished.
Third-party advertising
Advertising networks may choose ads based on context, location, device information or other signals described in their policies and our Privacy Policy. An automated advertisement is not a newsroom endorsement. References to Google AdSense or Infolinks in site policies do not represent approval, certification or an active account for this site.
Affiliate relationships
If an article contains a commission-generating link, it must explain in plain language that the publication may earn a commission from purchases through that link. The disclosure belongs with the recommendation, before or near the relevant links, where readers can see it without opening a separate policy page. A label such as “affiliate link” alone may not explain the payment relationship clearly.
Reviews and recommendations must also disclose relevant free products, complimentary services, travel, admission or other benefits supplied by a business when those connections could affect how readers weigh the coverage. A commission or gift does not authorize unsupported claims. Reviews must distinguish hands-on experience from research and must not claim testing that did not occur. Readers are not asked to click advertisements to support the publication.
Standards and complaints
We do not accept advertising that promotes unlawful activity, deceptive claims, hate or exploitation. Report an inappropriate ad through our Contact page, including the article URL, approximate time and a description of the ad. Do not click a suspicious ad merely to investigate it.
