Advertising Policy – IMXPA (International Media eXchange & Press Agency)
Effective Date: November 1, 2025
IMXPA (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of journalistic integrity and editorial independence. Advertising and sponsored content help support our mission to deliver high-quality international news, but such content must always comply with our values of transparency, fairness, and reader trust.
This Advertising Policy explains how we manage advertising, sponsorships, and commercial partnerships on our website, imxpa.com (the “Site”).

Ensure a clear separation between editorial content and advertising.

Provide transparency about paid promotions, sponsorships, and affiliate relationships.
-
Maintain our readers’ trust by preventing undue commercial influence on our journalism.
2. Editorial Independence
-
IMXPA’s editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, and commercial partners.
-
Advertisers do not influence the selection, tone, or coverage of news stories.

a. Display and Banner Ads
Standard image or video advertisements placed within designated areas of the Site.
b. Sponsored Content (Branded or Partnered Articles)
Content created in collaboration with advertisers or sponsors, clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Content,” or “Partner Content.”
