PublicSlate

Funding & advertising

How PublicSlate is funded.

PublicSlate is an independent digital news publication funded by advertising and, in future, optional reader contributions. Advertisers, sponsors and supporters do not buy editorial control.

Ads are served by Google AdSense and are kept visually separate from our journalism.

Sponsored or branded content, if any, will be clearly labelled. Native ads will never appear as unmarked news.

No paywall for core news

Our core news and explainers are free to read. We may offer optional support mechanisms later; they will not gate basic public-interest reporting.
