How Midland AF Works: Featured Partners and Ads
Midland AF is a local guide to Midland, Texas. Our team decides what we cover and writes everything you read here. Some local businesses also pay to partner with us. This page explains what that means and how we label it, so you always know what you're looking at.
How we pick what we cover
We focus on locally owned businesses, events and places worth your time. Our team picks every spot in our guides, checks hours, addresses and menus before each update, and adds reader tips we can confirm. If something on our site is out of date, tell us and we'll check it.
What our labels mean
A local business that partners with Midland AF and pays for extra photos and detail in a guide. We still write the copy, and the business can't change our opinion.
A business in our yearly Local Favorites program. We vetted it before it could join, and it pays for its page on our site, photos and promotion. Its page is labeled "Local Favorites partner · Paid partnership," and links from that page to the business are marked as sponsored links. The business can correct facts but doesn't approve our wording.
An article, post or email paid for by a business or organization. We write it with them, and it carries this label at the top.
A business that sponsors a whole guide, series or event roundup. Its name appears at the top. It doesn't choose or change the listings.
A banner or display ad on our site or in our newsletter.
Unless a post carries one of these labels, nobody paid for it.
Links on our site
When you click from Midland AF to a partner's website, we may add tracking to the link so the partner can see that our readers sent you. It doesn't change what you pay or what you see.
