Instructor BioKatherine Wessling's Courses Fact-Checking (Class starts July 14)
Fact-Checking Essentials New York (Seminar on August 20) ![]() Her other journalism experience includes: contributing literary editor for Swing, senior editor at Speak, and editor-in-chief of (ai) performance for the planet. She's also been a commentator on WNYC's broadcast of NPR's Morning Edition. photo credit: Susan Shacter Testimonials I was very impressed and thought Katherine did a great job. In fact, I attended because she had taught an in-house fact-checking class at my office before I started working there and my boss wanted me to have a similar experience. Overall, I really liked how Katherine balanced her anecdotes with more technical information. It kept the class interesting. -- Jessica Feder, editorial assistant, Country Living"The class was very helpful in my role as fact-checker at the Seton Hall University Magazine. Katherine Wessling was able to successfully communicate the very basics of fact-checking. I was surprised at how much I liked the three-hour course considering the fact that I was coming from a long day of work. The mediabistro venue was comfortable and contributed to an open learning environment. Well done!" -- Isabel Bauer, Graduate Assistant, Seton Hall University "As someone who had never attended a mediabistro.com course, I was expecting a more corporate environment. I was pleasantly surprised to find a relaxed, open space--at the center of which was a large table for the intimate course, which made me feel like a part of a group. Katherine Wessling was very personable. Her anecdotes are enjoyable, and helped me gain a better grasp of how interesting--and sometimes neurotic--the fact-checking process really can be." -- Daniel Quiterio, Proofreader, JWT |
