Updates to Job Title, Publications

Hello!

I noticed that Mary Jordan's job title is no longer accurate and her publications are not to date. My proposed changes are below. Feel free to edit and verify as necessary.

Please cut this paragraph:

Mary Catherine Jordan (born November 10, 1960) is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist,

best-selling author and National Correspondent for the Washington Post.

And replace it with:

Mary Catherine Jordan is a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist, best-selling author and

Associate Editor at the Washington Post.

Please cut this paragraph:

In 2018, Jordan was a national correspondent for the Washington Post writing about politics and the

Trump administration and appearing on ABC, BBC, and other TV networks. She covered the 2016

campaign, writing in-depth political stories and profiles. Jordan was also the founding editor and

moderator for Washington Post Live, which hosted forums including "The 40th Anniversary

of Watergate" in June 2012 that featured key Watergate figures including former White House

counsel John Dean, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, and reporters Bob Woodward and Carl

Bernstein. It was held at the Watergate hotel.

And replace it with:

As a national correspondent for the Post, Jordan has written extensively about U.S. politics and

society and has appeared as an analyst on ABC, BBC, and other TV networks. Jordan was also the

founding editor and moderator for Washington Post Live, which hosted forums including "The 40th

Anniversary of Watergate" in June 2012 that featured key Watergate figures including former White

House counsel John Dean, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, and reporters Bob

Woodward and Carl Bernstein. It was held at the Watergate hotel.

Please cut this paragraph:

Jordan and Sullivan are the authors of “Trump on Trial: The Investigation, Impeachment, Acquittal

and Aftermath,” published by Scribner in August 2020. The book, with reporting contributions from

Washington Post colleagues, received a “starred” review by Kirkus, which said it “sets a standard for

political storytelling with impeccable research and lively writing.” It was reviewed on the cover of the

New York Times Book Review.

And replace it with:

impeachment and was published in 2021 as “Trump’s Trials.”

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Mary Jordan's job title should be changed to Associate Editor at the Washington Post. :
This should be changed because she is no longer a National Correspondent at the Washington Post, but rather an Associate Editor. :

The opening line of the article already says she is Associate Editor. Elsewhere in the article needs more work to make it a chronological, encyclopedic biography. For that purpose, it would be helpful to have a date (year) when she became Associate Editor. Melcous (talk) 22:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
