Partnerships
Advertise with us
Reach an engaged, multi-language audience on Haldia Live. Display, sponsored content, newsletter sponsorships and custom partnerships.
Display & native
Homepage, category hubs, and in-article inventory where attention is intentional—standard IAB-friendly sizes and unambiguous ad labeling.
Newsletter
Opt-in subscribers who asked for news—not cold lists. Sponsorships are concise, clearly disclosed, and never disguised as reporting.
Sponsored content
Partner storytelling that is plainly labeled, visually distinct from news, and never implied as editorial endorsement.
Request a commercial brief
Tell us what you want to promote and when. This goes straight to Haldia Live sales — not the news desk.
Haldia Live reaches readers who follow Haldia and the wider Medinipur corridor with intent—port and logistics operators, plant managers, educators, labor representatives, small business owners, and civic actors who need context, not noise. That concentration is useful when your offer depends on geography, compliance, or supply-chain proximity rather than generic national reach alone.
Audience environment and brand safety
We treat editorial independence as non-negotiable: advertisers do not choose headlines, leads, or story lists. Sponsored formats are plainly labeled and visually separated from news surfaces. We decline creative that mimics editorial voice, buries disclosures, or pressures journalists. The firewall is operational, not decorative—see our editorial policy for how we separate commercial work from reporting.
What we sell—and what we will not
We sell attention, context, and transparent disclosure—not editorial coverage. We do not accept “paid news” disguised as reporting, advertiser-controlled allegations attributed to anonymous sources, or political advocacy without clear labeling. If a brief conflicts with reader trust or legal risk, we will say no. That boundary protects your brand as much as ours.
From brief to go-live
- Discovery: target audience, geography, flight dates, KPIs (awareness vs. conversion), and languages (EN/HI/BN).
- Creative & compliance review: copy, claims (especially financial/medical), landing URLs, and accessibility basics.
- Production & trafficking: typical lead times are roughly five to ten business days for standard packages; larger roadblocks or custom builds need more runway.
- Reporting: delivery confirmations and a concise performance summary—we do not quote metrics we cannot validate.
Creative guidance (practical)
Lightweight assets outperform heavy auto-play video on news sites. Clear calls-to-action, fast landing pages, and legible typography on small screens materially improve outcomes. If you do not have in-house design, ask for starter templates and a pre-flight checklist when you contact us.
Start a conversation
Send a short brief—dates, budget band, desired formats/languages, and success criteria. Commercial inquiries are handled separately from news tips; please route editorial leaks through the same contact form but mark the subject line clearly so the right desk sees it first.
