How are sponsored and editorial articles distinguished?
ACA Magazine is currently an independent editorial magazine and contains no advertising or sponsored content. Should sponsored content be published in the future, it will be clearly labeled 'Sponsored' so readers can immediately identify it. Maintaining editorial independence is a core principle, and advertising relationships will never influence the content of articles.
Content Type Labeling Principles
ACA Magazine classifies content into editorial, sponsored, partner, and brand_story types. Non-editorial types are clearly labeled at the top of articles and on list cards, and are managed separately on the /partners page. This classification system is designed so readers can instantly understand the nature of any content.
Relationship Between Editorial Independence and Advertising
ACA Magazine's editorial direction, content selection, and fact-checking standards are consistently maintained regardless of advertising or partnership relationships. Content that favors a particular viewpoint or distorts facts at the request of an advertiser is never published. This principle is essential for maintaining credibility on core topics such as Korea SGI (韓國SGI) and Soka Gakkai (創価学会).
