- EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE
Advertising, sponsorship, and editorial operations are separate functions.
Advertisers and sponsors do not acquire a right to:

- prevent criticism;
- require favorable news treatment;
- demand removal of independently reported articles;

NRI Connect TV reserves the right to report independently on an advertiser, sponsor, partner, executive, industry, or subject even while a commercial relationship exists.
- ADVERTISING MUST BE IDENTIFIABLE AS ADVERTISING
NRI Connect TV intends to distinguish paid commercial material from independent editorial content where required by law or necessary to prevent consumer confusion.
The FTC specifically warns that native advertising can be deceptive when consumers cannot reasonably recognize that the content is advertising. Disclosures should be clear and prominent and, where needed, may need to appear before or above a headline or even on the visual focal point itself. Federal Trade Commission
NRI Connect TV may use labels including:
Advertisement
Paid Advertisement
Sponsored

Paid Partnership
Promoted
Presented by [Sponsor Name]
Sponsored Interview
Paid Promotional Content
The exact disclosure may depend on:

“Native advertising” means paid advertising designed to resemble surrounding editorial or platform content.
Native advertising may include:

NRI Connect TV will endeavor to label native advertising appropriately.
