Disclosure policy

Disclosures are part of how we show readers where relevant interests, relationships, or workflow details could affect how a story is understood.

Article-level disclosures

When an article has a relevant conflict, financial interest, sponsorship tie, affiliate relationship, or other material consideration, we disclose it in visible article content.

  • Disclosures should be specific enough for readers to understand the relationship that may matter.
  • If there is no article-specific disclosure to publish, we do not add filler language that implies one exists.
  • Disclosure language should be plain, direct, and easy to scan.

Market and investment context

Market coverage is published for informational journalism, not personalized financial, legal, or medical advice, and we want that distinction to remain obvious in both the reporting and the surrounding product language.

  • Readers should not treat newsroom content as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold a security or cannabis-related asset.
  • Analysis and reporting may discuss public companies, funds, legislation, and regulated operators without endorsing them.
  • We aim to separate factual market reporting from speculative interpretation so readers can distinguish what happened from what it may mean.
