Transparency about who owns and funds a publication is part of earning your trust. This page explains how Daily Watch Reports is owned, how it is funded, and how we keep those things separate from our journalism.
Ownership
Daily Watch Reports is independently owned and operated. It is not owned or controlled by a political party, campaign or advocacy organisation, and no advertiser or sponsor holds an ownership stake that carries editorial control.
How we are funded
The publication is free to read — there is no paywall and no registration wall. Our costs are supported primarily by advertising. We serve ads through Google AdSense, which may include personalised advertising. You can control ad personalisation in your Google Ad Settings and manage cookies through our Cookie Policy.
Editorial independence
Commercial and editorial functions are kept separate. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over what we cover or how we cover it, no advance access to our reporting, and no say in editorial decisions. Advertising is always distinguishable from editorial content, and we do not publish paid material disguised as journalism; anything sponsored, if it ever appears, is clearly labelled. These commitments mirror our Ethics Policy and Editorial Policy.
Accountability
Independence also means accountability. When we make a mistake we correct it openly — see our Corrections policy — and we welcome questions about our funding or independence at [email protected].
