GENERAL The Northwest Progress does not accept advertisements for products or services that are contrary to Catholic teaching or from entities that -- in the judgment of the newspaper's management -- have as their primary focus those products or services. The Northwest Progress retains the right to edit or reject all advertising copy. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS The Northwest Progress wishes to foster the participation of Catholics in the political process. (Yet, to retain its non-profit tax status, the newspaper must choose whether to accept political advertisements from all candidates -- regardless of how their positions relate to church teaching -- or to reject all such advertisements. Selective acceptance is not an option.) Due to the complexity of moral and political issues today, the acceptance of advertisements from politicians whose positions may be at variance with various Church teachings stands to confuse our readers. Therefore, it is the Progress' policy to decline all political advertisements. EVENTS AND SPEAKERS Events advertised in The Catholic Northwest Progress require parish/archdiocesan sponsorship.  Non-parish events may be advertised in The Progress if the sponsoring agency requests approval in advance from the Vicar for Clergy or other office within the Archdiocese of Seattle.  "ISSUE ADVERTISEMENTS" The Northwest Progress does not accept advertisements in the form of essays expressing the advertiser's views on controversial issues or promoting an agenda, rather than announcing an event or offering a product or service for sale. If an advertisement for goods or services appears to be an article, it must be identified as a "paid advertisement." Ads may not contain "bylines" or "datelines." GOOD TASTE & HONESTY The Northwest Progress does not take advertisements that -- in the judgment of management -- are in poor taste; manipulative; deceptive; or intended to frighten, shock or in any way take advantage of the newspapers' readers. All advertisements must show respect for persons and for the truth. If it comes to our attention that an advertiser has not been truthful, the advertisement will be discontinued. PERSONALS The Northwest Progress will not accept "personal" ads related to dating or ads for private adoptions. Acceptance of other ads of a personal nature will be subject to the discretion of management.
