plantauthority.in is a digital news platform that upholds the values of transparency, accuracy, and responsibility in every piece of content we publish. Our editorial policy ensures that our reporting maintains scientific integrity and serves the public interest — especially in sectors like agriculture, environment, biodiversity, and sustainability.
1. Editorial Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers, sponsors, political bodies, or commercial interests. The editorial team has full authority over content creation, topic selection, and publishing timelines. We do not allow outside influence to affect our news coverage or analysis.
2. Commitment to Accuracy
- All information is thoroughly fact-checked by our editorial team before publication.
- Scientific claims, agricultural data, or policy summaries are verified using reputable sources such as government reports, academic journals, and field experts.
- In the event of a factual error, we promptly correct the content and disclose the revision.
3. Distinguishing News and Opinion
We maintain a clear separation between news reporting and opinion pieces. News articles are written objectively, while editorials and expert commentaries are labeled as opinion and reflect the personal perspective of the author, not the organization.
4. Sources and Transparency
- We aim to cite primary sources and provide links or references where possible.
- Anonymous sources are used only when necessary and vetted by senior editors.
- We disclose partnerships or content sponsorships to maintain reader trust.
5. Ethical Journalism
- We do not publish content that is misleading, plagiarized, or discriminatory.
- Our coverage respects privacy, especially in sensitive cases involving rural communities, researchers, or indigenous populations.
- We avoid sensationalism and prioritize clarity and context in science and policy reporting.
6. Coverage Areas
Our content focuses on:
- Agriculture and crop innovation
- Climate change and environmental impact
- Government policy and sustainable development goals
- Biodiversity and conservation
