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.
