At The Deltagram, journalism is not a neutral product. We are rooted in democratic values, committed to equity, and aligned with the public interest.
We stand for truth, justice, and human dignity — not just in our reporting, but in every corner of our platform, including the advertising we accept.
As a matter of editorial integrity and public accountability, we apply rigorous ethical standards to all advertising.
Commercial messages on The Deltagram must not contradict the principles that guide our journalism.
We reject advertising that promotes harm, misinformation, inequality, or ecological destruction.
We are especially vigilant against corporate or state interests that aim to manipulate public discourse, exploit the vulnerable, or obscure the truth.
No advertisements will be accepted for tobacco products of any kind — including cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, vaping products, or related accessories. These industries profit from addiction and public health damage.
We reject all advertising from entities involved in the manufacture, distribution, or export of firearms, ammunition, military-grade equipment, or weaponised surveillance technologies.
No ad space will be sold to oil, coal, or gas companies — or their lobbying arms — that contribute to climate change, environmental destruction, or disinformation about the climate crisis.
We will not promote real estate, agribusiness, mining, or industrial entities implicated in illegal land acquisition, displacement of communities, deforestation, or habitat destruction.
We do not accept advertising from cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or scientific research companies that use animals in inhumane testing conditions or refuse transparency regarding animal welfare practices. Ethical alternatives must be clearly demonstrated.
We do not accept advertising from authoritarian governments, political front groups, foreign propaganda machines, or entities engaged in election interference, disinformation campaigns, or hate speech.
We reject advertisements from brands linked to historical slavery, modern-day forced labour, exploitative supply chains, sweatshop manufacturing, union busting, or corporate practices that violate workers' rights.
No ads will be accepted from casinos, online betting platforms, sports betting services, or lottery operators. These industries often target and harm financially vulnerable populations.
We do not accept advertising that promotes adult entertainment, escort services, pornography, or any sexually suggestive or degrading content that reinforces harmful stereotypes or objectifies individuals.
All pharmaceutical ads must comply with rigorous medical standards. We do not accept ads for unapproved treatments, dubious supplements, or any product that makes misleading or exaggerated health claims.
We reject advertising from payday lenders, exploitative loan schemes, high-risk cryptocurrency platforms, and any financial services targeting people in economic distress with deceptive or harmful products.
Some categories may be allowed under strict scrutiny, subject to full transparency, compliance with relevant laws, and alignment with public interest:
Only accepted from domestic campaigns. Must disclose full funding sources, adhere to election regulations, and must not include hate speech or misinformation.
Banks, fintech platforms, and investment firms must demonstrate regulatory compliance and consumer protection standards. No misleading interest rates or fine print.
Tech platforms must not promote surveillance capitalism, algorithmic discrimination, AI misuse, or social manipulation. Transparency about data use is essential.
We will not publish any advertisement — regardless of the sponsor — that promotes or normalises:
We believe advertising is part of the public discourse — and should therefore be subject to ethical scrutiny. We do not allow advertisers to shape our editorial coverage, and we disclose all sponsored content transparently.
At The Deltagram, we are accountable to our readers, not to corporate interest. The values that shape our journalism — truth, equity, justice, and environmental stewardship — are the same values that guide our advertising policy.
We welcome advertisers who share our belief in a fairer, more democratic, and more sustainable world.
Advertising revenue does not and will never influence our journalism.
All advertisements must be clearly distinguishable from editorial content and will be reviewed prior to publication. We reserve the right to remove or reject any advertisement that violates our policies, without prior notice.
Advertising with us is not just a commercial transaction — it's a statement. We welcome businesses, cooperatives, public campaigns, and non-profit organisations that share our commitment to justice, truth, and democracy.
