StoryCorps Fact-Checker

As a freelance fact-checker for StoryCorps, I conducted research to confirm every detail in the segment up to National Public Radio’s broadcast standards. This means conducting phone interviews with the participants’ friends and family and with doctors, police departments, reporters, historians, subject-matter experts, etc., depending on the needs of the segment. It also means reading available literature, finding dates, and citing statistics.

The following are a few selected segments I fact-checked for StoryCorps which aired on NPR’s Morning Edition or Weekend Edition Saturday:

• “From Internment to Disney” (https://www.twine.net/signin
