Checking system brought from New Yorker

From my perspective, the most impressive part was the checking system of The New Republic (exactly, from New Yorker).

When the article comes in, it will come to the senior editor, he or she edits it on the computer, and calls the writer to make revisions. Then the piece comes to the second editor, he revises it again, then goes fact check. Check every piece, every date, every title, every place or assertion, check and verified. Then the piece goes to the copy editor, he revises it once again. Then goes to the lawyer, who plays the own bound. The boss will look at it, too. He is very concerned about every comment the magazine has made. Then production takes it, then backs on the paper, then backs to the writer, then back to the copy editor, back to editor No.1, and editor No.2, back to the fact taker, back to the writer and back to production again. During the process, the lawyer reread it, looking at the read notes and finds things that are not corroborated.Before being printed, every editor and checker will read it once again.

    Today, I heard On the Media talk about Stephen Glass's inability to enter the CA State Bar last month. After watching it, he found a very good movie about pathological lying. Speaking of which, this person is really suitable for being a lawyer, the American society is indeed worse off.

Shattered Glass quotes

  • Stephen Glass: I'm so dead. I mean, I'm over. Nobody's ever going to hire me again, are they? I was so sloppy trusting my sources like that... and then lying about it. And to Chuck, of all people. I mean, the one guy who's hated me all along.

    Michael Kelly: [talking on the stairs inside the lobby of his office building] I'm sure that none of this is personal.

    Stephen Glass: No? Chuck keeps a list in his head... everybody who's a "Michael Kelly" person. A couple of times, I said some things I shouldn't have said... about you. So now I'm on it. That's why he's so set on killing me now.

    Michael Kelly: Well, I have to tell you, Steve, he's within his rights. The things you did were fireable offenses.

    Stephen Glass: I know. I'm not saying that they weren't. I did some terrible, terrible things. But believe me, Michael, Chuck doesn't care about any of it. It's my loyalty to you that he's punishing me for.

  • Stephen Glass: [Speaking to Mrs. Duke's students] I'd like to pause for a moment. You can't really go into the world of journalism without first understanding how a piece gets edited at a place like TNR. This is the system that Michael Kelly brought with him from The New Yorker, a three day torture test. If your article is good, the process will only make it better. If your article is shaky, you're in for a long week. A story comes in, and it goes to a senior editor. He or she edits it on computer then calls in the writer, who makes revisions. Then the piece goes to a second editor, and the writer revises it again. Then it goes through a fact-check where every fact in the piece, every date, every title, every place or assertion is checked and verified. Then the piece goes to a copy editor where it is scrutinized once again. Then it goes to lawyers, who apply their own burdens of proof. Marty looks at it, too. He's very concerned with any kind of comment the magazine is making. Then production takes it and lays it out in columns inches and type. Then it goes back on paper, then back to the writer, back to the copy editor, back to editor number one and editor number two, back to the fact-checker, back to the writer, and back to production again. Throughout, those lawyers are reading and rereading, looking for red flags, anything that feels uncorroborated. Once they're satisfied, the pages are reprinted, and it all happens again. Every editor, the fact-checkers, they all go through it one last time. Now, most of you will start out as interns somewhere. And interns do a lot of fact-checking. So pay close attention. There is a hole in the fact-checking system. A big one. The facts in most pieces can be checked against some type of source material. If an article is on, say, Ethanol subsidies, you can check for discrepancies against the congressional record, trade publications... LexisNexis, footage from C-SPAN. But on other pieces, the only source material available are the notes provided by the reporter himself.
