How The Curtain is funded

Published 2026-10-14 · Updated 2026-10-27 · 3 min read

The Curtain uses advertising to help support the costs of publishing. Ads may be delivered by third-party providers, and what appears can vary by page, device and availability. Advertising is identified separately from editorial stories.

Commercial activity does not decide what we cover or what conclusions our reporting reaches. Advertisers do not assign, review or approve our independent editorial coverage. If sponsored material is published, it will be clearly labelled so readers can distinguish it from reporting.

We aim to be transparent about that boundary. Questions about advertising can be sent to ads@thecurtain.online; questions about a story or its accuracy can be sent through our contact page.
