Advertising on ipsnews.net

IPS has started to include advertising on its news sites. The extra income is invested in maintaining and expanding our international network of correspondents and translation operations, in order to offer you the best possible news service.

Traditionally, IPS was always financed partially by subscription fees of media and other users, and partially by project and programme funding. It has always been a big challenge for IPS to raise enough money to realise all of its ambitions. As media markets are changing and advertising is becoming a vital income element for most media, we felt that we also had to try to tap this source of revenue in order to secure the future of IPS.

The introduction of advertising is a way for individual users to contribute to the costs of the service we offer. It also diversifies our income, making IPS less financially vulnerable.

We can assure you that news will always remain central on our site. We will not be publishing highly intrusive advertising or ads that clearly go against our values or those of our constituency. And we will always safeguard our editorial independence.

We value your opinion. Please let us know what you think about advertising on ipsnews.net and about the ads you have seen while visiting IPS websites in general.
