In addition to fact-checking, they also edit for grammar, style, and clarity, helping to maintain the quality and integrity of published materials.

  • When a writer makes a calculation, double check their math.
  • When the team receives infographics, you will double check the text to be sure it matches the original source
  • Work with writers when necessary to verify facts
