Information being a powerful driver for the new tomorrow, Down to Earth, one of Asia’s premier news & views site for environment and development, operates with the obsession of bringing news, perspectives and knowledge and to prepare people to change the world. In the time of deluge of information, it provides the best platform to detect fake news and gives access to genuine news and erudite information amidst the over flowing information today. With its articles being used to push policy, challenge the status quo and spread the word about what is possible, Down to Earth makes a difference with its credible information system and data-driven stories.
Down to Earth surges ahead of the competition by retaining the immediacy of a website, all the while taking readers beyond headlines to ‘how’ and ’what next‘ of a development. Yet another unique feature of the site is its global coverage, wherein it joins the local to global developments. So, a development in a remote Indian or African village is analyzed in wider
global perspective. No wonder, Down to Earth has received seven national and international awards and its editorial members have been honoured with more than 40 fellowships and awards. “We present forensic rigor in popular format. The site is very much evolved for the new age readers, without compromising on the information that everyone should know,” remarks Sunita Narain, Editor, Down to Earth.
