Editorial leadership and independence
Editor: Simon Evans.
Our editorial decisions are made independently. Commercial relationships do not determine our news coverage, headlines, or conclusions.
We aim to publish accurate, fair journalism, and we seek meaningful right of reply where relevant, in line with IPSO guidelines. We also distinguish news reporting from opinion and analysis.
How we’re funded
West Midlands News may be funded through:
Advertising
Sponsorship
Partnership content (paid-for content)
Where content is commercially funded, we label it clearly so readers can distinguish independent editorial journalism from paid-for material. Google News also expects publishers to be transparent about publisher information, ownership and contact details.
Partnership content and advertising
Some content may be commercially funded. Partnership content is labelled clearly (for example, “Advert” and/or “Partnership Content”) on the article page.
We do not allow paid content to be presented as independent news reporting.
