DailyCandy 411

DailyCandy’s Editorial Policy

Thanks, Seattle, for such a warm welcome. (What Seattle freeze?)

We’ve loved your feedback and wanted to return the getting-to-know-you favor by answering a few questions regarding how we pick our stories. And, specifically, whether we accept payment from people or companies in exchange for appearing on DailyCandy.

Here’s the deal: The items we write about are selected by our editors. No one can pay to be featured on DailyCandy. That’s what advertising is for (and it’s always labeled as such). Selling ourselves (literally) would destroy the legitimacy, integrity, and fun of DailyCandy.

Plus, we’d never earn your trust that way. So we’ll never make a dime off your meal at a restaurant nor a penny from the sale of the latest accessory we told you about.

That said, on occasion, we will send out Dedicated E-mails on behalf of sponsors. You’ll recognize them from the subject line: “DailyCandy Dedicated E-mail.” Yes, these are paid for.

And, no, we would never sell our subscriber list to anyone. Not for any amount of money.

We hope that you continue to enjoy your DailyCandy. We look forward to delivering it!
