approach-advertising">Independent, quality journalism requires the support of great brands and partners. Our advertisers are a key force in supporting our newsroom but have no bearing on our editorial coverage, and we maintain a strict separation between news and third-party ads. </p><div class="w-layout-blockcontainer container-6 w-container"><div class="aboutpage-approach-copy"><div><h1 class="heading-6">1</h1><p class="aboutpage-paragraph-2">Semafor’s mission is built upon fostering trust amongst our readership and combating the misinformation that abounds in today’s news landscape. Our coverage seeks to portray different points of view across every story, grounded in a singular set of facts. That same commitment is what guides our advertising principles. <br/></p></div><div><h1 class="heading-6">2</h1><p class="aboutpage-paragraph-2">To that end, our advertising space is open to all points of view – cultural, political, social and otherwise. Semafor reserves the right to review all ads and to reject any that are determined to be in violation of our principles and ad acceptability standards.<br/></p></div><div><h1 class="heading-6">3</h1><p class="aboutpage-paragraph-2">Semafor will ensure that all advertising is clearly presented as commercial content, distinct from editorial content. The nature of an advertising relationship must be transparent so that it is clear to the audience that they are seeing a commercial message.<br/></p></div><a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/10/18/2022/what-is-a-semaform-anyway-and-why-should-you-care" class="secondary-link-block-2 w-inline-block"><h1 class="heading-6">4</h1><div><p class="aboutpage-paragraph-2">Semafor prohibits advertising that promotes hate speech, discrimination, violence as well as advertising that knowingly misleads readers via fraudulence or inaccuracy or that violates federal or local stipulations protecting trademark, copyright, libel, stock involvement and political advertising.<br/></p></div></a></div></div></div></div></div><div class="secondary-sectionframe"><div class="secondary-sectionfooter"><div class="aboutpage-spinningearthframe"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63bec52ad93785ed285d7775/63bec52ad9378580af5d77b5_spinning-earth-48px.gif" loading="lazy" width="31" alt="" class="secondary-spinningearth"/></div><div class="aboutpage-footerlogo"><a href="https://www.semafor.com/" class="w-inline-block"><img src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63bec52ad93785ed285d7775/6579fbc630e592509c76e85f_semafor-logo.svg" alt="Semafor" class="footerlogo"/></a></div></div></div><script src="https://d3e54v103j8qbb.cloudfront.net/js/jquery-3.5.1.min.dc5e7f18c8.js?site=63bec52ad93785ed285d7775" type="text/javascript" integrity="sha256-9/aliU8dGd2tb6OSsuzixeV4y/faTqgFtohetphbbj0=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><script src="https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63bec52ad93785ed285d7775/js/semafor-523461ad5f53764e924096c4fe043cc.314338338.js" type="text/javascript"></script></body></html>
