ADVERTORIALS AND PROMOTED CONTENT
nearfield is 100% editorially independent, and will never give editorial coverage in return for advertising support.
We recognise the commercial value of creating promotional content and placing this within our native environment. When we do this it will always be clearly labelled “promoted content” or “advertising feature”.
Establishing and maintaining reader trust in our content is one of our top priorities, and we will always strive to ensure that all content (whether editorial or promotional) is interesting, relevant and useful, and featuring brands and businesses that we know and respect.
