Content Labeling Policy

Content Labels

Readers should know what kind of content they are reading.

BBSC Publications uses labels to separate reporting, analysis, opinion, advocacy, commercial activity, satire, and illustration.

Work based on direct interviews, original quotes, documents, public-records research, event coverage, or independent analysis.

Coverage or curation of timely cannabis-law, culture, policy, science, business, and community developments.

Context and interpretation that explains why a development matters.

Perspective-driven writing that argues, criticizes, recommends, or takes a position.

Content that asks readers to help change policy, contact officials, support a cause, or join an organized effort.

Entertainment, humor, satire, character-based storytelling, or comic-strip content.

Artwork, fan art, AI-assisted images, or visual concepts that are not documentary photographs.

A story that may change as new documents, official comments, or facts become available.

Reporting explains what is happening. Advocacy asks readers to help change what is happening.
