Miriam Goldberg

(

... that Miriam Goldberg succeeded her husband as publisher of the Intermountain Jewish News, which he had bought for one dollar?

QPQ done. Article is new and long enough, inline cited in every pararaph; no copyvio/close paraphrasing detected. Hook is short enough and both the fact that she took the newspaper after her husband and that the paper was bought for one dollar is inline cited to reliable sources; also being relatively interesting facts. (On a side note: Considering that this woman turns 100 this year, I am a bit doubtful whether she is still the de facto publisher anymore (as the lead indicates), one source says the paper is now run by her son, but homepage which was last updated in 2008 lists her as publisher).

Thanks for the review, @Iselilja:. I was in phone contact with the newspaper to ask them about Miriam Goldberg's status, and they said she is still the editor and publisher (!). I told them that their "About Us" and "Staff Members" pages are dated 2008 (although the Staff Members page has an updated date of August 19, 2014, at the bottom), and they said they would tell their internet department to update those pages. Hopefully that will be done this week. Yoninah (talk) 18:46, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
