You will learn to
Check every name, number, date and quotation against the source that decides it, before the work leaves your hands.
Why this matters
One wrong date or misspelt organisation name is what a reader remembers, and it is also the cheapest error to have caught.
Three things to remember
- Check names, numbers, dates and quotations one at a time.
- Check each against the source that decides it, not a second answer.
- Write down what you could not confirm instead of quietly removing it.
See one example
A short piece for a college magazine that quotes a minister's statement.
