Summary/Analysis 4 - Jeffrey Goldberg

    Jeffrey Goldberg, columnist for the Atlantic and formerly a correspondent of the New York Times addresses many noteworthy topics on his self - titled blog, mainly touching on economic and foreign issues especially those dealing with Iran. He uses a unique American perspective and comparisons to display his points. He does this in order to show how Americans perceive outside conflicts and how they feel about the recession. His audience is anyone interested in the economic and political situation in the United States.
    One of Goldbergs most recent blogs shows his concern that Iran may already be under attack. He initially points that "Goldblog deputy-editor-for-monitoring-Iran-obsessively Adam Chandler"  gave him the idea "even-though-Goldblog-himself-also-monitors-Iran-obsessively". This not only compares the two as coworkers who think alike but also provides the reader a background on the blog topic. Goldberg then uses his unique perspective as well as his jewish background to describe the tensions between Iran and Isreal. He further explores attacks made by Iranian Students on a UK embassy.
