How we label sponsored content

• Sponsored — paid placement by a Corporate Partner. Appears on the asset itself and in any cross-promotion.
• Partner-produced — content authored by a Corporate Partner; DFPSA edits for clarity and accuracy but the partner is the author.
• Co-produced — DFPSA + partner collaboration; both contributors are credited.
• Editorial — produced independently by DFPSA staff or member working groups. No sponsor involvement.

What we will not do

• Run native ads disguised as editorial guidance.
• Allow sponsors to review or edit editorial content prior to publication.
• Take payment to suppress competing products, incidents, or coverage.
