EspañolJEFFREY GOLDBERG
'Jeffrey Mark Goldberg' (born September, 1965) is an American journalist. He is an author and a staff writer for ''The Atlantic Monthly'', having previously worked for ''The New Yorker''. Goldberg has written extensively on foreign affairs, with a focus on the Middle East and Africa.[1]
Goldberg was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in Malverne, New York.[2] He attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he was editor-in-chief of ''The Daily Pennsylvanian''.[2] He left college to move to Israel[2], where he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a prison guard during the First Intifada.[5] He later returned to the United States to continue his journalism career, and now lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife and three children.[6]
Goldberg began his career at ''The Washington Post'', where he was a police reporter. While in Israel, he worked as a columnist for ''The Jerusalem Post'', and upon his return to the United States served as the New York bureau chief of ''The Forward'', a contributing editor at ''New York'' magazine, and a contributing writer at ''The New York Times Magazine''.[7]
In October 2000, Goldberg joined ''The New Yorker''.[1] Two of his articles for the magazine have won awards.
His 2002 article "The Great Terror"[9] won the Overseas Press Club's Joe & Laurie Dine Award for international human rights reporting.[10] The article describes Saddam Hussein's Al-Anfal Campaign, including his regime's use of poison gas at Halabja.[9] Critics claim the article boosted the Bush administration's argument for the invasion of Iraq by emphasizing Saddam Hussein's use of weapons of mass destruction.[12] Journalists later argued that the primary source for the article's allegations of Iraqi ties to al-Qaida, imprisoned in Kurdistan in early 2001, appeared to have fabricated his allegations in an attempt to lighten his prison sentence.[13]
In 2003 Goldberg's two-part examination of Hezbollah, "In the Party of God," won the National Magazine Award for reporting.[14]
In 2007, he was hired by David G. Bradley to write for ''The Atlantic Monthly''. Bradley had tried to convince Goldberg to come work for ''The Atlantic'' for nearly two years, and was finally successful after purchasing ponies for Goldberg's children.
Goldberg's book, ''Prisoners: A Muslim and a Jew Across the Middle East Divide'' (New York: Knopf, 2006), describes his experiences in Israel working at the Ketziot military prison camp as well as his dialogue with Rafiq, a prisoner whom Goldberg would later befriend in Washington, D.C.[15] Critics received the book positively; ''The New York Times'', ''The Washington Post'', and ''The Los Angeles Times'' all named it one of the best books of 2006.[16]
