Political Coverage, Advertising and Editorial Independence

American Industry reports on politics, public policy, elections, labour relations and government decisions where they affect American industry, workers and businesses. Coverage of these subjects is produced as editorial content and is subject to the same standards of accuracy, attribution and editorial judgement as our other reporting.

American Industry does not publish paid political advertisements, candidate-sponsored articles, party-sponsored articles, or paid political advocacy presented as independent editorial journalism.

American Industry does not publish advertorials or paid articles. The site may carry clearly separated banner or display advertising, and American Industry may use paid distribution platforms to bring readers to its independently produced editorial articles. Paying to distribute an editorial article does not give the distribution platform, advertiser, candidate, political party or outside organisation editorial control over that article.

Where commercial advertising appears on the site, it is kept distinct from editorial content and does not determine our editorial coverage.
