NY Times' Robin Toner, 54, was a scrupulous factpchecker

In their obituary of national correspondent Robin Toner, the Times notes, "[I]n a craft in which small errors are commonplace and bigger mistakes a regular occupational hazard, Ms. Toner devised a meticulous personal method for checking and re-checking names, dates, facts and figures in her own raw copy, a step few reporters take. As a result: only half a dozen published corrections over the years, on more than 1,900 articles with her byline." Examples and lessons were not provided.
