Commission an analysisUse this passport on your website
1. Disclosure box
A live "who owns and funds us" box for your About or Imprint page. It shows what this passport shows, so it stays correct when the record changes. It covers the ownership disclosure that the European Media Freedom Act (Article 6) asks of news media in the EU.
2. Badge
For the footer or imprint. It always shows the current status and belongs only on the official websites listed above.
3. Site tag
One line in the <head> of your website links it to this passport. Tools can then confirm the site and the record belong together, and a claim from this website is confirmed faster.
4. QR code for print
For the printed edition, business cards, studio sets or event banners. It encodes only the short link, so it never needs reprinting.
