✍️ Our Editorial Independence Promise

Editorial integrity is sacred to us. Here's what we promise:

• No pay-to-play: Companies cannot buy their way into our stories. We cover what's genuinely newsworthy and uplifting.
• Honest recommendations: We only link to products or services we believe are relevant and valuable to the story. No fake endorsements.
• Clear labeling: Sponsored content (if we ever publish any) will be clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Paid Partnership."
• You come first: Our loyalty is to readers, not advertisers. If something doesn't serve you, it doesn't belong on our site.

🔍 How We Choose Affiliate Products

When we include product links in stories, we follow these principles:

1. Relevance: The product must be directly related to the story topic (e.g., pet products in animal rescue stories).
2. Value: We only recommend products that genuinely help or are mentioned naturally in the story context.
3. Ethics: We avoid promoting products that contradict our mission of spreading positivity and supporting good causes.
4. Transparency: Links are marked with rel="sponsored" and accompanied by disclosure text.

🍪 Cookies & Tracking

• Track purchases made through our links (so we receive commissions)

📊 Revenue Transparency

Good News 24 is an independent, reader-supported publication. Revenue from affiliate commissions, ads, and donations goes toward:

• Content creation (researching and writing quality positive news)
• Hosting and infrastructure (keeping the site fast and secure)
• Growth (reaching more people who need uplifting news)
• Independence (staying free from corporate control or agenda)

We will never: Sell your personal data, accept payment to change editorial coverage, or compromise our mission for profit.
