Fact Checking, Claire Theobald


After checking an article from the Globe and Mail called "Tim Trow to quit Toronto Humane Society board", I found the article to have no obvious errors. Quotes appear to be attributed properly, the spelling seems fairly consistent, and the facts are credible. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/tim-trow-quits-toronto-humane-society-board/article1445060/


Accuracy is what seperates news from rumour, therefore if a news source is to retain credibility as a news source, it must be fair, balanced, and accurate.
