Why You Need A Fact-Checker:

Fact-checkers work with editors and writers to ensure that copy is as professional and as accurate as possible. We're a second pair of eyes that will go through copy with a fine-tooth comb to eliminate mistakes, inaccurate information, and even catch some grammatical mistakes.

As a fact-checker, I look at dates, names (of people, places, and other texts), and historical references that are important to the delivered copy. Writing that relies on someones individual perspective may not need in depth fact-checking.
