Megan Goldin

Every once in awhile I pick on somebody. But then I remember, it must be hard to check your facts and edit your article when you have the pressure of deadlines... and I don't want to be like this guy.

Megan Goldin has many articles attributed to her. It looks like she's Reuter's Israel correspondant. She was a researcher in '98 on this TV program from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. And the earliest article I can find by her is this AP article from '95. So I'm guessing she's between 26-29 years old. That's old enough to be allowed to make mistakes... right?

A media conspiracy, or just bad writing?

The News Behind the News questions the motives behind Megan Goldin, a Reuters correspondant, who wrote an article about violence in Israel. In another article, Megan writes about how Israeli officials have not pulled back in their raids on Palestinian land. She quotes officials and uses parentheses instead of brackets to mark words implied but not spoken. I performed a search on her name to see if she made similar errors and much to my surprise, stumbled upon the conspiracy mentioned above.

When they start taking things away, we will be rebellious at first. We'll yell and kick and scream and throw tantrums like children, but when we realize that none of that will bring it back, we will accept the new limitation, and forget about the freedoms we once had.
