Talk:Elisabeth Rosenthal

This Wikipedia page is about ME

This Wikipedia page is about ME. It was created some years ago and is filled with factual errors -- some were never correct and some are a decade out of date. For example, I do not specialize in anything, much less epidemic diseases (which I never specialized in). I was never Science Editor of the New York Times (though I was asked, and declined). I have not lived in Beijing or been married to Erik Eckholm since 2003. I won the ASOP prize many years ago but have won many others since. For the purpose of editing, here is my bio:

If you want verifiable biographical information here's some from the announcement of this year's Victor Cohn Prize (which I won):

Elisabeth Rosenthal

Elisabeth Rosenthal began her Times career in 1994 as a reporter in the science department, and went on to cover the health and hospitals beat on the metro desk. In 1997, she began a six-year stint as the paper’s Beijing correspondent, reporting on everything from politics to the HIV/AIDS and SARS epidemics, and winning numerous awards for her coverage. Rosenthal later became the European health and environment correspondent, based in the Rome bureau. In 2008, she returned to the U.S. as a New York-based Times senior writer and international environment correspondent.

Rosenthal went back to health care writing after being asked to cover the Affordable Care Act during the 2012 election campaign. “I instead proposed an investigative series designed to illustrate for our readers why ordinary medical encounters in the United States end up costing so much.” In a February 11, 2013, post on the Times’ health blog “Well,” she sought patient stories from readers who had had hip replacements or other procedures. A rapid outpouring of responses helped launch her series, which was enriched by her own medical expertise and overseas experience.

Rosenthal has been a Poynter Fellow at Yale, a Ferris Visiting Professor at Princeton and an adjunct professor at Columbia University. She holds B.S. (biology) and B.A. (history) degrees with high honors from Stanford University and an M.A. in English literature from Cambridge University, where she was a Marshall scholar. Rosenthal earned an M.D. from Harvard Medical School, training in internal medicine and working briefly as an emergency medicine physician before turning to journalism full-time.

In addition to the professional information above, I have won the following prizes (all easily verifiable):

Ms. Rosenthal’s many journalism awards include the Association of Health Care Journalists’ 2014 beat reporting prize, the 2014 Victor Cohn Prize from the Council for the Advancement of Science Writing, the Asia Society’s Osborn Elliott prize, and multiple citations from the Newswomen’s Club of New York.

Finally some accurate personal information:

I live in New York City am married and have two children.

Thanks to anyone who can edit!

Hello Elisabeth. You write the prices are "all easily verifiable". Please provide us with links to reliable, third-party sources that we can use to a) verify the statements ourselves, and b) include in the article to make the material verifiable. (Wikipedia does not publish original research.) Thank you in advance. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 19:50, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Actually I think the award source is sufficient for basic biographical information, such as dates and job titles and the proposed material was close-enough to encyclopedic tone to only need re-writing and copyediting. Also, since the current page had no meaningful narrative about her career path, it was easy to just add the material without comparing two versions. I went ahead and put in the proposed source with some basic information such as dates that she held different positions or covered various beats. It looks like the incorrect information has also been removed. Please feel free to let me know if there are any remaining errors. CorporateM (Talk) 19:06, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
