The Steeple Times is an editorial publication first. Advertising, sponsorship, partnerships and referral arrangements help fund the journalism, events, archive work and running costs of the site, but they do not buy editorial opinion.
How Commercial Material Is Labelled
Where material is paid for, sponsored, placed as an advertisement, or includes a commercial referral arrangement, we aim to make that clear to readers. Labels may include terms such as advertisement, sponsored, partner, recommended partner, affiliate, referral, or a similar plain-English description.
Editorial Independence
Advertisers, sponsors, listed businesses and event partners do not receive control over editorial articles. A business may pay for advertising space, an enhanced listing, an event sponsorship, or a clearly marked partnership, but that does not guarantee favourable coverage or prevent fair comment.
Recommendations And Listings
The Steeple Times may publish recommendations, directory-style listings, venue profiles and business profiles using publicly available information, direct submissions, archive material and editorial judgement. Businesses may ask to correct factual details, claim a listing, discuss an enhanced listing, or request removal where appropriate.
Affiliate And Referral Links
Some links may earn a commission, referral fee, sponsorship fee, or other commercial benefit. Where that is the case, we aim to use appropriate link labelling and search-engine-friendly attributes such as sponsored or nofollow where relevant.
Events, Hospitality And Review Material
Tickets, invitations, hospitality, samples, review access and event support may occasionally be provided. Acceptance of such access does not guarantee positive coverage.
