Financing Tom's Guide Content

Financing Tom's Guide Content

Future Publishing Limited relies on advertising to continue to provide content that our readers love. We also work with outside partners to create content that we believe will be interesting and informative to our readers.

In some cases, partners provide content for us or assist us in producing content, but we maintain editorial independence. Such additional content is labeled so that you know who funded it and how it was created. We have created this page to clarify exactly what these labels mean about how the content you are reading was funded.

Articles labeled 'in association' written with are independent editorial articles created by writers employed by Tom's Guide and funded with the support of commercial partners. When planning supported content, the senior editor agrees with the funding partner on the topic and headline of the article, but is under no obligation to take further direction from the partner.

Articles are written under the direction of a TomsGuide journalist or a TomsGuide senior editor and published in TomsGuide. It will not be sent to funding partners for approval. This content is subject to the editors' code of conduct by the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

Articles labeled "advertising features" are paid for and managed by commercial partners. These may be produced by the client or by staff employed by Tom's Guide. Because this is commercial content, it is subject to regulation by the Advertising Standards Authority and the Federal Trade Commission.
