Sponsorship & independence

Editorial firewall

Sponsors do not choose stories, review drafts, or approve headlines. Our editors have final say on every card in every edition. A sponsor may appear in a clearly labelled slot — never disguised as news.

What sponsors receive

• Transparent “Supported by” credit with logo and optional short blurb
• Measured impressions and click reporting — aggregated, not individual tracking profiles
• Alignment review: we decline partners whose core business conflicts with our standards

What sponsors do not receive

• Story placement inside the editorial scroll without disclosure
• Positive coverage guarantees or veto over unrelated critical reporting
• Access to subscriber email addresses

Membership vs sponsorship

Reader membership supports Past 24 directly and unlocks supporter benefits. Sponsor revenue funds distribution and special editions. Both are disclosed; neither overrides verification rules.
