Advertise with us

NewsLead360 publishes news from Pakistan in English and Urdu: politics, business, sport, technology, world and more. Readers come for the news itself, so a message placed beside it is read in a serious, attentive setting.

We would rather give you figures than a slogan. Ask us for the current numbers (readers, page views and the split between English and Urdu) and we will send them with the date they were taken, so you can judge the fit before you spend anything.

• Section sponsorship. Your name appears as "Supported by" on one section, such as Business or Sport, for the dates you choose. It sits beside the section, not inside the stories.
• Homepage sponsorship. A labelled placement on the front page for a set period, with your headline, a short line and a link.
• Sponsored story. A story page that is clearly marked as sponsored, with the sponsor named. You supply the material, or we agree it together.
• Display ads. The standard banner ads on story and list pages are served by Google AdSense. We do not sell them directly, but you can run them yourself through Google Ads.

Every placement runs between agreed start and end dates, can be paused, and is shown in both languages where you give us both.

These protect readers, and they are why a placement here is worth something to you.

• Always labelled. Paid content is marked "Sponsored" or "Supported by", in English and in Urdu. It is never presented as our reporting.
• Never written by the newsroom. Our reporters and editors do not write, edit or approve sponsored material, and a sponsor never sees or changes a story before it is published.
• No influence on coverage. Paying us does not buy a story, change a headline, or keep one out. If we report on you, we do it as we would for anyone.
• We can say no. We turn down material that is misleading, unlawful, hateful, or that we cannot stand behind, and we may remove a placement that breaks these rules.
• Public pages only. Paid placements appear on public reading pages, never on the sign-in or account pages.

1. Write to us with who you are, what you want to promote, the dates you have in mind and whether you need English, Urdu or both.
2. We reply with what is available, the price and a proposed schedule.
3. You send the headline, text, logo and link. We check them against the rules above.
4. The placement goes live on the agreed date, and we tell you how it did when it ends.

We do not start a placement until the wording, price and dates are agreed in writing.
