Brand Transparency

VNN requires commercial material to be appropriately identified.

Our objective is to create advertising opportunities that respect both readers and advertisers.

5. Advertising Placements and Specifications

The following information should be confirmed for each campaign before final approval.

These details are being confirmed and will be published here once verified.

Advertisers should not assume a particular format is supported until it is confirmed by VNN.

6. Audience and Reach

VNN recognises that advertisers require reliable audience information.

Where verified analytics are available, our media information may provide relevant measures, such as:

• Monthly website users.
• Page views.
• Audience geography.
• Device distribution.

Current Verified Audience Information

Analytics Source

Jetpack Stats

Audience figures should be supported by actual analytics.

VNN will not represent estimated, projected or illustrative figures as independently verified performance data.

7. Audience Geography

VNN’s editorial scope includes Australian and international reporting.

However, international editorial coverage does not automatically mean that the publication has established measurable audience reach in every country.

Advertisers should rely on verified audience information rather than assumptions arising from the website’s subject categories.

Any geographic targeting arrangements must be confirmed according to the actual capabilities of the advertising system.

8. Advertising Campaign Types

Depending on commercial arrangements and supported technology, campaigns may be priced using:

Fixed Placement

A defined fee for an agreed advertisement location and publication period.

Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM)

A fee calculated according to qualifying advertising impressions, where reliable measurement is available.

Cost Per Click (CPC)

A fee based on qualifying clicks, where the advertising platform and agreement support that model.

Sponsored Feature

An agreed fee covering specified promotional content and placement services.

Custom Partnership

A negotiated arrangement involving multiple approved services or placements.

The availability of a pricing model does not establish that VNN currently offers it.

9. Advertising Rate Information

These details are being confirmed and will be published here once verified.

A personalised quotation may be required for certain placements.

Rates may vary according to availability, campaign duration, format and approved deliverables.

Any applicable taxes, fees and material conditions should be disclosed before a binding agreement is formed.

10. Sponsored Content and Brand Features

Businesses may enquire about sponsored content for legitimate commercial communication.

Suitable content may include:

• Business introductions.
• Product information.
• Service announcements.
• Organisational developments.
• Brand campaigns.
• Industry initiatives.
• Educational promotional features.

VNN retains the right to reject claims that cannot be adequately supported.

Sponsored features should identify the commercial relationship.

Advertisers must not require undisclosed favourable independent journalism as a condition of payment.

11. Editorial Independence

Our editorial reporting is separate from advertising services.

A commercial booking does not guarantee:

• Favourable news coverage.
• Suppression of relevant criticism.
• Editorial endorsement.
• Access to confidential newsroom information.
• Influence over unrelated investigations.
• Publication of unsupported factual claims.
• A positive editorial review.

VNN’s editorial responsibilities remain governed by its Editorial Standards & Code of Ethics.

• Obscures important navigation.

This includes:

• Photographs.
• Logos.
• Videos.
• Audio.
• Illustrations.
• Written content.

VNN may request evidence of permission or licensing.

Use of an asset in a commercial advertisement does not automatically transfer intellectual property ownership.

VNN may require:

• Verification of the advertiser.
• Review of the proposed creative.
• Confirmation of rights.
• Agreement on placement.
• Confirmation of pricing.
• Approval of campaign dates.

Invoices should accurately identify the legal supplier and relevant tax treatment.

VNN must not advertise payment arrangements that it cannot currently support.

19. Campaign Changes and Cancellations

Campaign changes may be possible subject to availability, technical requirements and the agreed terms.

Cancellation rights, fees, refunds and rescheduling arrangements should be stated in the applicable campaign agreement.

Any terms must comply with relevant laws, including applicable consumer guarantees and unfair contract terms requirements.

The submission of a cancellation request does not automatically establish entitlement to a full refund.

Where agreed and technically available, VNN may provide reports concerning advertisement delivery.

Possible metrics include:

• Recorded impressions.
• Recorded clicks.
• Placement dates.
• Campaign duration.
• Other agreed measurements.

VNN does not guarantee a particular number of purchases, leads or sales unless such a commitment has been expressly agreed and can be supported.

Results may depend on factors outside VNN’s control, including advertiser content, external websites and audience behaviour.

21. Privacy and Audience Targeting

Advertising technology may involve personal information or tracking.

Any audience-targeting service must comply with applicable privacy and advertising requirements.

VNN will not provide advertisers with unrestricted access to confidential reader information.

Relevant technical and privacy arrangements should be assessed before implementation.

22. Advertising Complaints

If a reader or organisation raises a credible concern about an advertisement, VNN may review the material.

Appropriate action may include requesting substantiation, modifying the creative, temporarily suspending delivery or removing the advertisement.

Advertisers may be required to cooperate in legitimate reviews.

23. No Guaranteed Endorsement or Editorial Coverage

A paid campaign does not create a partnership beyond the scope of the agreed commercial services.

An advertiser must not claim that VNN endorses its business, products or services without written authorisation.

Use of VNN’s name or logo in promotional materials may require prior approval.

24. Future Commercial Opportunities

As VNN develops, additional advertising formats may become available.

Potential opportunities could include:

• Custom branded features.
• Multimedia sponsorships.
• Newsletter partnerships.
