Fact-checking at The New Yorker

Fact-checking at The New Yorker : Columbia Journalism Review "Last month, Columbia Journalism Review Books and Columbia University Press released The Art of Making Magazines: On Being an Editor and Other Views from the Industry, an anthology of insights and reminiscences from top magazine editors. The book is based on talks given to students as part of the Delacorte Lecture Series at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. The following is excerpted from chapter five, ‘Fact-Checking at The New Yorker,’ which is itself taken from a lecture delivered by New Yorker fact-checking director Peter Canby on February 28, 2002."
