Ownership & Funding

What This Page Covers

More News publishes as an independent digital newsroom operated by a distributed editorial team based in the United Kingdom. This page is a reader-facing explanation of how editorial control, commercial support, and conflict disclosures are handled. It is not a substitute for a corporate registry filing or a formal securities disclosure.

Editorial Control and Decision-Making

Editorial judgements at More News are made by editors and reporters. Coverage decisions, headlines, source selection, framing, and publication timing are not sold to advertisers, sponsors, political actors, governments, or commercial partners.

A business relationship does not create a right to favourable coverage, prior review of a reported article, or suppression of accurate reporting. If a proposed arrangement would blur those lines, our standard is to decline it or remove the affected journalist from the assignment.

How More News May Be Funded

More News may generate revenue through advertising, sponsorships, platform distribution, licensing, partnerships, and other ordinary publishing-related commercial arrangements. Any such revenue stream is expected to remain structurally separate from editorial decision-making.

If More News enters into a material funding relationship, ownership change, or strategic arrangement that a reasonable reader would consider relevant to our editorial independence, the newsroom's expectation is that the relationship is disclosed on this page, on affected coverage, or both.

Conflicts of Interest and Recusals

Journalists and editors are expected to disclose personal, financial, political, or family relationships that could reasonably call their impartiality into question on a relevant assignment. Where necessary, the assignment should be moved, edited with explicit disclosure, or declined.

• Relevant personal or financial ties must be disclosed internally before publication
• Gifts, favours, or special access that would compromise independence should not be accepted
• Outside work, advocacy, or consulting that conflicts with newsroom independence must be disclosed and may require reassignment

Commercial Support Does Not Buy Coverage

More News maintains a clear boundary between revenue activity and journalism. Advertising or sponsorship does not guarantee coverage, shape a reporter's conclusions, or entitle a commercial party to veto criticism.

Paid content, sponsored features, affiliate relationships, and other commercial material are labelled clearly enough that a reader does not have to guess whether they are reading journalism or advertising.

Political, Governmental, and Advocacy Influence

More News does not present political, governmental, or advocacy messaging as independent reporting. If an external actor seeks to influence coverage through money, access, or pressure, our standard is to preserve editorial control rather than trade independence for convenience.

When a story concerns a subject with which More News has a material relationship, the relationship is disclosed in language a reader can understand.

Changes to Ownership or Material Support

If More News undergoes a material ownership change, takes on a relationship that bears directly on editorial independence, or launches a funding structure that a reasonable reader should know about, this page will be updated accordingly. Readers who believe a relevant ownership or funding relationship has not been disclosed are welcome to contact the newsroom and request a review.
