This disclosure identifies the ownership, funding, network relationship, and editorial governance of Ridgecrest Online at https://ridgecrestonline.com.
Publication and network identity
Ridgecrest Online at https://ridgecrestonline.com is part of Times Media Service, a news network operated by Times Media Service LLC. It publishes news and other editorial material for the audience and coverage area described on the publication’s About page.
This publication is owned and published by Times Media Service LLC.
Times Media Service LLC is owned and controlled by CISO Network LLC.
Times Media Service provides shared publishing technology, operational support, network standards, and other services to its publications. Site-specific editorial priorities may reflect the needs of the communities and audiences each publication serves.
Funding and revenue
Times Media Service LLC is currently funded through capital provided by its parent company, CISO Network LLC.
A material funder, grant, ownership interest, affiliate relationship, payment, or other support connected to particular coverage should be disclosed when a reasonable reader would consider it relevant.
Commercial support does not entitle a funder to undisclosed favorable treatment. Paid and sponsored material is governed by our Advertising, Sponsorship and Affiliate Policy and must be distinguishable from independent editorial content.
Editorial governance
Owners and senior management may determine the publication’s mission, strategic direction, appointments, budgets, and operational resources. Responsible editors make day-to-day decisions about story selection, sourcing, framing, headlines, corrections, and publication in accordance with our Editorial Standards and Ethics Policy.
No advertiser, sponsor, affiliate partner, donor, or outside organization may purchase favorable news coverage or require the suppression of legitimate reporting as a condition of commercial support.
Where an owner or senior manager participates directly in an editorial decision, the resulting content remains subject to the publication’s accuracy, attribution, conflict, labeling, and correction standards.
Coverage involving owners, funders, and affiliates
Times Media Service publications may report on their owner, network, managers, funders, advertisers, commercial partners, or affiliated organizations when the subject is newsworthy.
A material relationship should be disclosed in or near the coverage when it could reasonably affect how readers assess the work. An editor may reassign a story, require an additional review, or require a contributor to recuse when a conflict cannot be managed through disclosure alone.
Advertising and sponsored material
Advertising and paid promotional material should be visually and verbally distinguishable from editorial content. Sponsored, paid, or affiliate-supported content should identify the relevant relationship at the article level, not solely on this disclosure page.
Our Advertising, Sponsorship and Affiliate Policy explains the labels and safeguards applied to commercial material.
Changes to ownership or funding
We update this disclosure when a material ownership, control, network, or principal funding relationship changes. The date shown above identifies the latest published version.
