Paid Content Policy
At OC Media, we are committed to delivering high-quality, independent journalism that informs and engages our audience across the Caucasus region. As part of our sustainability strategy, we offer paid content opportunities that allow brands to connect with our audience while upholding our editorial integrity. Our approach is informed by:
Editorial Independence
Paid content on OC Media is clearly labelled as such to ensure transparency. Our editorial team maintains full control over the content we publish, and paid content is produced in collaboration with our partners while adhering to our editorial standards.
Quality and Relevance
We work closely with our partners to ensure that paid content is relevant, informative, and valuable to our audience. All paid content undergoes a rigorous review process to meet our quality standards.
Transparency
We believe in being transparent with our audience. All paid content is clearly labelled 'paid content' to distinguish it from our editorial content. Paid content is further branded as a component of our OC Forge commercial initiative to ensure it cannot be mistaken for our usual reporting.
