Where we draw the line
- Every paid placement is labelled as such, in plain language, at the top of the unit.
- Advertisers never see a story before it publishes, and never influence what we cover.
- We don't run trackers that follow readers off Afrikons, and we don't sell reader data.
- We decline campaigns that mimic our editorial layout closely enough to confuse a reader.
Let's build the campaign
Tell us who you're trying to reach and roughly what you have to spend, and we'll come back with two or three options and the current rate card. Bookings for the fourth quarter close in September.
