Promotion people can recognize

Commercial formats are considered through a manual inquiry and review. Every paid placement must identify the advertiser and use an explicit sponsored label.

Choose a relevant context

These formats describe what can be discussed; they are not a promise that inventory is currently available in every city, province, category or profile.

Featured local partner

A clearly marked local partner presentation in an agreed, relevant context.

Sponsored listing

A labelled organization or place listing with a disclosed commercial relationship.

Sponsored city placement

A labelled placement on an eligible published city page.

Sponsored category placement

A labelled placement on an eligible published topic page.

Featured offer

A time-bound offer with clear terms, advertiser identity and destination.

Verified organization profile

A profile request subject to identity, relevance and claim verification; payment never makes an organization official.

Local deal

A clearly disclosed local promotion whose eligibility, terms and end date are visible.

Campaign banner

A distinct promotional unit that does not imitate navigation or official advice.

Content partnership

A reviewed collaboration with authorship, sponsorship and source disclosure.

Referral or affiliate placement

A placement considered only with transparent commercial marking.

Editorial and sponsored stay separate

No disguised advertising

Promotions cannot look like a government recommendation, organic search result or product control.

Published coverage only

Location and topic targeting is limited to suitable coverage that exists in YouNew.

No purchased authority

Payment cannot change editorial guidance, official-source badges or emergency instructions.
