  2. On the overall, Malaysiakini respects the right of advertisers to advertise with us in order to reach our audience. Such advertising should be clearly presented as advertising and not disguised as editorial content. Where there is confusion Malaysiakini will normally put the words “Paid Ad” on the banner. Content or articles that are paid for shall be labeled as “Advertorials” or “Branded Content” or “Paid Partnership”.

     

  3. Further to this, Malaysiakini prohibits advertisements from making references to social ills such as vulgarity, obscenity, profanity, pornographic materials or nudity. Nor may advertisements be threatening, abusive, harassing or hateful (racially, ethnically or otherwise) or otherwise objectionable in light of community norms and standards.

     

  4. While Malaysiakini objects to advertisements promoting cigarettes or smokeless tobacco, cigars, pipe tobacco and tobacco paraphernalia; Advertisers may promote beer and wine, subject to local laws and regulations and these advertisements will not appear in the Malay site.

     

  5. More importantly, advertising does not affect Malaysiakini editorial coverage. Our editorial will remain free of advertising influence and will continue to report independently.
