Advertorial
Definition
An advertisement structural format designed to simulate editorial content, presented in the style of an objective newspaper article but paid for by a sponsor to promote a product, service, or brand. As a marketing tool, it merges the apparent objectivity of journalism with the persuasive intent of publicity, requiring specific labelling to maintain media transparency.
