    How we label what you read

    • Newsroom

      Written and edited by our team. Companies cannot pay to appear in or change these stories.

    • Press release

      Supplied by a company and published after basic checks. Marked as a press release at the top of the page.

    • Partner content

      Paid for by a brand, including sponsored interviews. Marked as partner content, with the sponsor named.

    Links in press releases and partner content carry rel="sponsored", so they pass no search ranking credit.
