Alex thanks for your reply. Site standard is good. This ad is fine but it should have a separate section for advertisement stories.
Enjoy reading..

Thanks for you thoughtful reply, Alex! I enjoy the stories and discussion on Icenews; this ad just struck me as below the site’s usual standards.

Thanks again, and best wishes,

Thanks for your concern, pw.

As you suspected, this is an ad. It is clearly marked at the end as an advertisement – as are all ads which appear on IceNews.

We try to make any advertisements published here easy-to-spot (from the language used and because they are always labelled); but also interesting and informative to read.

With regard to your second complaint: you were absolutely right and we have added some other businesses to the story to better illustrate the broad economic recovery of small and innovative businesses in Iceland.

Thanks for your valuable comment and thanks for reading IceNews.

Alex, editor

Is this an ad or a story? Responsible journalism demands the distinction be clearly and transparently maintained.

Also, the “companies” in the headline hear should really read “company”. The headline sounds like an attempt to portray a broad economic revival in Iceland, when there is absolutely nothing in the article to support that.
