Sponsor Hendricks County 360 News

How sponsorship works here

Hendricks County 360 News is free to read, and it plans to carry clearly labeled local sponsors so it stays that way. We have not opened sponsorships in Hendricks County yet. If your business wants to hear when we do, write to news@hc360news.com and tell us the business and the town.

How a sponsored item is labeled

Every paid item says so where you'll see it: "Sponsored" on a sponsor's banner or listing, "Presented by" or "Brought to you by" with the sponsor's name on a segment it supports, such as the weather or our high school scores, and "Ad" at the start of any ad post on our Facebook page. The label is never tucked into hashtags or behind a "See more" link, and an ad never looks like one of our news stories.

What a sponsorship doesn't buy

Paying for a sponsorship doesn't buy any say in what we report, and sponsors don't see a story before it runs or get to suggest or make changes, hold it or stop it. A sponsorship doesn't buy coverage either, and if we report on a business that sponsors us, the story says so. Every paid item is labeled, and a sponsor's name never goes inside a story. There is no sponsor on election, crime, courts, death, injury, missing-person or correction coverage.

We don't take political, campaign, ballot question or issue ads. Beyond those, we turn down ads for gambling and betting, dating, adult content, firearms, tobacco and vaping, payday and title loans, crypto, diet pills and unlicensed health claims, multilevel marketing, anything aimed at children, and anything attacking a person, business or group.

There are no advertising networks, tracking pixels or ad cookies on hc360news.com, and we don't share anything about our readers.
