Desk checking

About Desk checking

Desk checking is a process in which an editor, or team of editors, checks the quality of a written piece. Typically this is done by comparing it to the original source materials, such as the transcript or recording of an interview. The editor will ensure that all the content is accurate and that there are no unnecessary additions or omissions.

Desk checking can be performed on any type of written work; however, it's most commonly used for news stories and other articles that need to be very accurate in order to maintain trust with readers/viewers/listeners.

Desk checking can also be used when there are multiple sources for one story (e.g., if two people were interviewed separately about the same topic). In this case, it's important for your story to accurately reflect what both people said—and desk checking ensures that doesn't happen accidentally!
