Peach State Tech/Editorial

How We Work

Editorial
Standards

Peach State Tech covers technology, business, startups, and innovation across Georgia. These standards guide how our team researches, writes, and reviews each article.

Our Promise

Clear reporting. Reliable sources. Responsible technology coverage.

01 / Purpose

Our Purpose

We help readers understand the people, companies, programs, and technologies shaping Georgia.

Our coverage serves business owners, founders, professionals, job seekers, students, investors, and other people interested in Georgia’s technology industry.

We do more than repeat announcements. We explain what happened, why it matters, who it may affect, and what the available evidence supports.

02 / Coverage

How We Choose Topics

We select topics that have a clear connection to Georgia. Our coverage may include:

01Artificial intelligence
02Atlanta startups
03Cybersecurity
04Financial technology
05Healthcare technology
06University research
07Technology jobs and skills
08Business funding and investment
09Company expansions
10Local events and programs

We confirm a company’s connection to Georgia before we describe it as a Georgia company. This connection may include its headquarters, offices, employees, or documented business activities within the state.

03 / Research

How We Research Articles

We use reliable and current sources whenever possible. Our sources may include:

1Government agencies
2Public records
3Universities and research centers
4Company filings
5Original studies and reports
6Industry organizations
7Company websites and press releases
8Interviews and direct statements
9Established news organizations

We check important names, dates, locations, figures, and links before publication.

A company press release can confirm what the company announced. However, it does not always provide independent proof of the result. We make this difference clear when it affects the story.

04 / Evidence

How We Present Data

We explain what each statistic measures. We also identify the source, date, location, and reporting period when these details are available.

Two sources may report different funding totals, job numbers, or deal counts because they use different methods. We explain these differences instead of treating the figures as equal.

We label estimates, forecasts, and company goals clearly. We do not present them as confirmed results.

05 / Approach

Our Editorial Approach

We avoid unsupported claims, promotional language, exaggerated descriptions, and fear-based statements.

We explain both the benefits and the limits of a technology. When relevant, we also discuss cost, accuracy, privacy, security, access, employment, and responsible use.

06 / Attribution

Bylines

Each article names an individual author or the Peach State Editorial Team.

We may use the editorial team byline when several team members contribute to an article or when the publication takes shared responsibility for its content.

Our Commitment

Reporting that
earns trust.

Our goal is simple: provide useful, understandable, and responsibly reported information about Georgia’s technology ecosystem.
