Disclaimer
Tyne of Your Life is an independent publication covering food, culture, experiences and local businesses across Newcastle and the North East. Transparency matters to us, particularly when writing about places where readers may choose to spend their time or money.
This page explains how our editorial content works, how we handle invitations and partnerships, and how we disclose advertising or paid collaborations. It outlines the standards we follow to ensure reviews remain honest, independent and clearly labelled when commercial relationships are involved.
Editorial Independence
Tyne of Your Life is an independent editorial publication covering places, experiences, food, culture and people across Newcastle and the North East.
All reviews and recommendations reflect our genuine opinions based on first-hand visits and experiences.
Editorial decisions are made independently. Businesses cannot pay to receive a positive review or influence the outcome of editorial coverage.
If something is not good, we will say so.
Reviews and Visits
Most venues we review are visited and paid for by us.
Occasionally, we may accept:
-
Press invitations
-
Complimentary tickets
-
Media tastings

Preview events
Accepting a press invitation does not guarantee coverage and does not influence the opinion expressed in the review.
If a visit was hosted or complimentary, this will be clearly stated in the article.
Advertising and Paid Content
Tyne of Your Life may feature paid collaborations with businesses.
When content is paid for, it will always be clearly labelled. This may include:
-

Sponsored Content
Sponsored content is written to our editorial standards and will remain honest and factual, but readers should understand that the business has paid for the exposure.
We do not disguise advertising as independent editorial.

This means we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase or booking through a link on our site, at no additional cost to you.
