13. Professionalism for Affiliations

13.1. Sponsored Content Policies

Professional journalism principles shall have clear and distinct editorial practices in distinguishing advertising and sponsored content, commercial or commissioned, from editorial content independently produced by the Media Outlet.

Do your Editorial Guidelines have specific policies for distinguishing commercial or sponsored content?

Yes

If you want to publish additional information, please provide it here.

The Ethics Code has a chapter on Financial Transparency and Conflict of Interest regulating that "No worker should support and/or participate in the advertising of commercial products except with the express permission of the Executive Director and/or Editor-in-Chief, and only if it is a socially beneficial campaign": https://faktograf.hr/site/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/eticki-kodeks-faktografa-udruge-za-informiranu-javnost.pdf

13.2. Sponsored Content Indicators

In Media Outlets, sponsored content shall be clearly identified with the words content 'sponsored by’, ‘paid by’ or other explicit and easy to understand terms. Particular care should be taken in distinguishing so called ‘native’ content (where the item is sponsored but is published or broadcast next to ordinary editorial content) from its surrounding material.

Do you publish any sponsored content?
