Funding Sources

Kuryente News is funded through legitimate media and publishing activities. Our revenue sources include:

• Digital Advertising: We display advertisements through third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. Advertising is clearly distinguished from editorial content.
• Direct Advertising Partnerships: We may enter into direct advertising agreements with businesses and organizations. All sponsored content and paid partnerships are clearly labeled.

• Media and Publishing Services: We may offer content production, media consulting, or publishing services to external clients.
• Affiliate Links: This site contains affiliate links to e-commerce platforms including Shopee, Lazada, and Expedia through the Involve Asia affiliate network. When readers make purchases through these links, Kuryente News may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader. Affiliate content is clearly labeled and does not influence editorial decisions or news coverage.

What We Do Not Accept

• We do not accept funding from any government agency, political party, or political candidate.
• We do not accept funding that requires editorial influence or control over our news coverage.
• We do not accept anonymous donations or funding from undisclosed sources for the purpose of influencing editorial decisions.

Editorial Independence

Advertising and revenue sources do not influence editorial decision-making.

Our editorial team operates independently from our business and advertising operations. Advertisers, sponsors, and business partners have no input into, review of, or veto power over our news coverage, editorial decisions, or journalistic content.

This separation is a fundamental principle of Kuryente News and is enforced by our Editorial Policy.

Conflicts of Interest

We maintain clear policies on conflicts of interest:

• Staff members and contributors must disclose any financial interests, relationships, or affiliations that could create a conflict of interest.
• If a potential conflict is identified, the affected individual is recused from coverage of the relevant topic.
• Any material conflicts are disclosed to readers when relevant.

Transparency

We believe our readers have the right to know who owns and funds the news they read. We voluntarily publish this information and update it whenever there are material changes to our ownership or funding structure.
