Advertising Disclosure

Last updated September 17, 2026.

Michiana On Tap is an independent local media company. Sponsors and advertisers make the site possible, and we want you to always know when something is paid.

How paid content is labeled

• Sponsored stories carry a SPONSORED label at the top of the page and the line "Paid partnership with [Sponsor]".
• Presenting sponsors of a section, the weekend guide, a giveaway or an event page are identified next to that section with "Presented by".
• Display placements are marked "Advertisement".
• Featured listings in our places directory are marked "Featured".

Editorial independence

Sponsors may provide information, but editorial production remains controlled by Michiana On Tap. Sponsors do not review or approve our stories before publication, and a sponsorship never guarantees favorable coverage. Businesses are never removed from our listings because they are not advertisers.

Affiliate links

We do not currently use affiliate links. If that changes, affiliate links will be disclosed on the page where they appear.

Giveaways

Giveaway prizes are typically provided by the sponsor named on the giveaway page. See our Contest Rules for how entries and winners are handled.
