Advertising Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2026

Democrawonk is a liberal political satire and commentary site. This policy describes our current advertising setup and our standards for paid placements.

Our Current Setup

Democrawonk currently displays no advertising or affiliate banners. Reporting-source and social-profile links are not paid endorsements. If paid placements are introduced in the future, this policy will be updated to describe the setup.

Clear Labels For Paid Content

If paid placements are introduced, we will identify them with clear labels such as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored.” Sponsored articles will identify the sponsor and disclose the paid relationship near the beginning of the article. Any future affiliate placements will disclose possible commissions near the links. Paid content will not be presented as independent reporting.

Editorial Independence

Advertisers will not control our independent editorial coverage, purchase favorable treatment, or buy the removal of criticism. Our political perspective and sense of humor belong to Democrawonk. Accepting an advertisement would not mean we endorse every claim, product, or position of its sponsor.

Advertising Standards

We reserve the right to reject or remove any placement that conflicts with our standards or the interests of our readers. We will not accept deceptive claims, scams, malware, impersonation, hateful or discriminatory material, or ads disguised as breaking news or site navigation. Advertisers must identify themselves accurately and be prepared to substantiate factual claims.

We will not accept advertising for tobacco products, firearms, unsubstantiated weight-loss products, or speculative cryptocurrency schemes. We may decline other campaigns based on their content, credibility, or fit with the site.

Reader Privacy

No advertising banner images or affiliate tracking links are currently loaded by our site. We use Plausible Analytics for readership measurement. See our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.

Inquiries And Concerns

For advertising inquiries or concerns about a placement, use our Contact Us form. An inquiry does not guarantee acceptance; placements require a separate agreement.
