Editorial Policy
IMI Daily is the news publication of IMI. We cover residence and citizenship by investment: the programs, the governments that run them, the companies that work in the field, and the people who use them. This page explains who we are, how we work, and how we keep our news apart from our paid content.
Who we are
IMI is published by Investment Migration Insider AS, a company registered in Norway.
Our founder and chairman is Christian Henrik Nesheim. Our editor in chief is Ahmad Abbas. You can see our whole team on our About page.
Our readers are professionals in investment migration and their clients. We write for people who already know the field.
What we stand for
These values are on our About page, and they guide our news.
- Free people and free markets. We aim to advance the cause of individual liberty, with a focus on freedom of movement and economic freedom.
- Independent journalism. We support investment migration, but we are not tied to any one party. We earn money from many different sources, so no single company or client decides what we write.
- Quality and honesty. We aim for clear, precise and honest reporting, and for honest business dealings.
How we pay for our work
Most of our money comes from membership dues and from marketing work for people and companies in investment migration. Marketing includes sponsored features, banner ads and program page sponsorships. Our prices are public on our Promote with IMI page.
We do not take money from any government or program operator.
Who writes for IMI
Our staff. A small full-time team writes most of our news.
Contributors. People who work in investment migration also write for us, often for our Opinion section. Our rules for them are on our Contribute Articles page:
- Contributors must be IMI Pro members.
- They send us their topic idea before they start writing, so the editor can check that it fits IMI.
- Their article must not sell anything. No contact details, logos or sales pitches, and no links in the body text. The author’s byline at the top can link to a website of their choice.
- We do not publish articles by anonymous authors.
- We only publish original articles. If a piece has already appeared online somewhere else, we cannot publish it.
- Articles must be useful to a professional reader.
- We check every contributed article for quality before it goes live.
Opinion pieces show the views of the person who wrote them, not IMI’s. Each one carries a note that says so.
Sources and quotes
We name our sources wherever we can. We generally do not accept anonymous quotes, especially when a quote could harm someone’s name.
Our editor is responsible for everything IMI publishes. That is one more reason we ask for a real name behind every article and every quote.
Sponsored features and other paid content
We keep paid content apart from our news.
- Sponsored features are articles, interviews or other content provided by a sponsor. We review each one for grammar, syntax and spelling. On the site, every sponsored feature is published under the byline Partner Content, in the Sponsored Feature category, and shows a Sponsored Feature label above the headline. Links to other websites in a sponsored feature are marked as sponsored links for search engines.
- The sponsor is responsible for the facts and the legal accuracy of what it submits. Every sponsor agrees to our Advertising Agreement and Legal Indemnity Terms before we publish.
- An ad is not an endorsement. Publishing a sponsored feature or an ad does not mean IMI recommends the sponsor.
- Banner ads are image ads in the sidebar of our articles, on our home page and in our newsletters. Links in the banner ads on our site are marked as sponsored links.
- Program page sponsorships. Each IMI program page can have one sponsor, shown in a box that says “This program page is sponsored by”.
- Real estate listings on IMI are free.
Mistakes and corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Our Corrections Policy explains how.
