GoKawiilCNET publishes detailed disclosure policy on advertising and revenue labeling
CNET has published a guide explaining how it discloses the various ways it makes money, since it does not charge subscription fees. The outlet says revenue comes from advertising space, content licensing, affiliate commissions and other partnerships, each labeled according to specific editorial standards. CNET states editorial decisions remain independent of business considerations, with clear labeling distinguishing paid, sponsored and independent content.
