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.
