AI Policy

Real news by real people

At Farmers Weekly, all news stories are written, edited, and verified by humans. We do not use AI to generate editorial content, ensuring that every story you read is accurate, responsible, and trustworthy.

We do, however, use AI tools for certain non-editorial functions, including:

  • Analyzing data for trends and insights
  • Assisting with newsletter curation and internal reporting
  • Streamlining operational workflows

These tools support our teams, but they do not replace the judgment, ethics, or expertise of our journalists and editors.

By adhering to the South African Press Code, we maintain high journalistic standards and ensure readers can trust our reporting.

Policy Review: This policy is reviewed periodically to reflect technological developments and evolving editorial standards.
