- Columns and Columnists
I may be tempted to ask experts and professionals to publish content on my website on a regular basis. I do not necessarily share their opinions and points of view. I believe it is by exchanging point of views and ideas that we can move forward constructively. I do not think people should be discriminated because of their opinions and ideas. I do not believe that we should stigmatise or boycott people. We should respect human rights and free speech.
Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks or (web) links are an inherent part of the internet. I may link to other websites or domains but have no influence on the content published or made available on other websites and domains. I hereby distance myself explicitly and completely from all contents on all linked web pages on all imaginable servers and clouds … in the whole universe.
Right of Opinion & Freedom of Speech
We have a “right of opinion” and “freedom of speech”. These liberties are engraved in most western democracies and constitutions. People lost their lives in the course of history to ensure we have these rights and freedoms today. It’s our right to use or not to use them. We may change our opinion overnight or during the course of the day. This is inherently part of our right of opinion. I may publish content and opinions which I do not agree with. The purpose is to share information, knowledge and point-of-views with the readers. Some of the content published on this website may be based on facts, data and opinions including but not limited to my own.
Personal Remarks
I may be tempted to add my “Personal” remarks or comments in an article. These comments and remarks are based on my own subjective opinion. You should take them with a pinch of salt. They’re not always ment seriously. Personal remarks or comments may be influenced by my mood, knowledge and opinion at the moment the article is published or edited. Personal remarks are not written by anyone else than by myself, Axel Barrett.
Revenues
It takes time, energy and resources to manage a website like bioplasticsnews.com. There are two sources of revenues on this website:
- Paid Subscriptions
The website use to provide content behind a paywall, meaning that you needed to buy a subscription to access content on this site and to be able to reacd the article. More info can be found on the subscription FAQ page.
- Advertising
I provide the opportunity to companies, organisations and individuals to publish content on this website in return of payment. Companies, organisations and individuals may increase their visibility on this website by purchasing media space or by publishing content . This will usually take the form of banners, text, articles, weblinks and/or messaging. There are several types of bannering such as “side” and “native” banners. There are several types of messaging such as “side” and “native” messaging. Banners and messages may redirect to an article, post, external website or nothing. Side banners are usually on the static side of the site (the static side of the site may be on the right or left side of the website and can change side over time) but could also be on the blog roll of the homepage. If it’s a company logo that you see on the static side bar of the site, it’s probably advertising. Native bannering or messaging refers to the injection of content (text or images) inside articles. Native messaging is usually published in red color.
The advertising process is the following: companies and / or organisation provide written content, images, videos and or weblinks that are ready-to be published. I will not edit the content. The article will be made sticky on the homepage for a couple of days, side banners and messaging, native banners and messaging may be included in the advertising package.
Newsletter and Distribution List
Website visitors may add their emails to the distribution list of the newsletter to receive immediate, daily or weekly notification emails when an article is published. Those notification emails are referred to as the “Newsletter”. This is a free service at this point-in-time. Notification emails contain a title, a short description, a link to the article, tags and categories. I may also be tempted to add my personal opinion in the description of the article. Advertising in the form of messaging may also be included in the description of these notification emails.
Subscription and Payment Plans
The paid content model has been stopped and paid articles are been transitioned into free content. However please note that this transition is taking time. No more subscription plans are being sold on this website.
Online Service providers
