Editorial independence

All sponsorship placements are advertising and will be clearly identified as such.

Purchasing advertising does not influence the Boundary Sentinel’s independent news coverage. It does not guarantee favourable editorial coverage or prevent the Sentinel from reporting on a sponsor when there is a legitimate public-interest reason to do so.

The Boundary Sentinel reserves the right to decline advertising that contains misleading claims, promotes illegal products or services, or conflicts with its editorial standards.
