Advertise With Us

Meridian Daily is read by curious, well-informed readers who come to us for clear reporting on the world, technology and everyday life. Advertising makes it possible for us to keep our journalism free for everyone, and we welcome partners who share our commitment to quality and trust.

Our Audience

Our readers visit across eight sections: World, Technology, Business, Society, Autos, Shopping, Science and Health. They are engaged, decision-making adults interested in technology, personal finance, consumer products, vehicles, health and current affairs. Detailed audience and traffic information is available to prospective partners on request.

How We Sell Advertising

We work with Google AdSense and Google Ad Manager, using the Google Publisher Tag, and may work with other Google-certified advertising partners. This means advertisers can reach our audience programmatically through Google's advertising platforms, including Google Ads and Display and Video 360, as well as through direct arrangements with our team.

Ad Formats

We offer standard, industry-recognized display formats designed to perform well while respecting the reading experience:

Leaderboard (728x90) and billboard (970x250) placements on desktop.
Medium rectangle (300x250) and half page (300x600) placements in sidebars and between article sections.
Mobile banners (320x50 and 320x100) and in-content mobile rectangles.
Responsive in-article units that adapt to the reader's screen.
Section sponsorships for a specific vertical, such as Technology, Autos or Health, subject to editorial separation rules.
Newsletter placements in future email products, clearly labeled.

We do not use pop-ups, auto-playing audio, ads that obscure content or any formats that disrupt the reading experience in ways that conflict with the Coalition for Better Ads standards.

Ad Labeling and Editorial Separation

Trust is our most important asset, and it is also what makes our audience valuable to advertisers. For that reason:

All ads are clearly labeled as "Advertisement" or "Sponsored" and are visually distinct from editorial content.
Advertisers have no influence over our news coverage, product reviews or recommendations, and cannot review content before publication.
Any sponsored content, if offered, is produced separately from our newsroom, clearly labeled and never presented as independent journalism.
Our journalists are not involved in selling advertising.

Advertising Policies

All advertising on Meridian Daily must comply with applicable laws and with the policies of Google and our other advertising partners. We do not accept advertising that:

Is false, misleading or deceptive, or makes unsubstantiated health, financial or performance claims.
Promotes illegal products or services, weapons, illicit drugs, counterfeit goods or adult content.
Promotes hate, violence or discrimination against individuals or groups.
Contains malware, deceptive redirects or intrusive behavior, or collects personal data in violation of privacy laws.
Imitates our editorial design in a way that could confuse readers.

We reserve the right to decline or remove any advertisement at our discretion. Readers who see an ad they believe is inappropriate can report it to ads@meridiandaily.com, including a description of the ad, the page on which it appeared and, if possible, a screenshot.
