So far, I'm not thrilled with this book. It purports to be a how-to guide, but so far it's very hand-wavey.

For instance, the chapter on what to fact check says "everything". It's instructions on what to prioritize don't go mich beyond "things that are important to the story" and "things that will take effort". The chapter on how does not propose much of a system for tracking facts, tracking effort, and also is very geared toward paper copies.

(I'm not kidding about "everything". in the part that supposedly says how to modify the process to identify what should be fact checked for electronic documents, Borel writes: "Make a separate copy of the story file and rename it. Then, using your software tools, either highlight or boldface the entire text." That is so useless.)

it's an easy read so far, so I'm likely to stick through it, but I'm not impressed at this point.
