Nina D. Burleigh is an American writer and investigative journalist, [1] She writes books, articles, essays and reviews. [2] Burleigh is a supporter of secular liberalism, [3] and is known for her interest in issues of women's rights. [4]
Burleigh grew up in San Francisco, Baghdad, and an Amish area of Michigan. [5] Burleigh stated that her family had "rejected institutional religion" by the time she grew up in the 1970s. "No baptism, no family Bible recording the births, deaths and marriages. My grandfather actively despised churches." [6]
Burleigh earned a bachelor's degree in English from MacMurray College, a master's in English from the University of Chicago, and a master's degree in Public Affairs Reporting from Sangamon State University (now the University of Illinois Springfield) in 1984. [7]
From January 2015 to January 2020, Burleigh was the National Politics Correspondent for Newsweek . [8] Burleigh covered the White House for Time in the 1990s.
In the 2000s, Burleigh was a staff writer at People magazine, covering human interest stories. [9] She wrote "The Bombshell" column for the New York Observer, [4] and was a contributing editor to Elle . She has contributed to numerous magazines and newspapers, including Time magazine, [10] The New York Times , [11] The New Yorker , [12] The Washington Post , Rolling Stone , [13] and The Guardian [14] and websites such as Slate magazine, TomPaine.com, AlterNet, Powell's [15] Salon.com, [16] and GEN/Medium. [17] She is an occasional blogger at The Huffington Post. [18] She was an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia University, and a guest lecturer at the University of Agder. [19] [20]
Burleigh worked in the Middle East for many years. Topics she covered included the politics of the Israeli settlements for Time Magazine; the emerging effect of Islamists on women in the wake of the Arab Spring for Slate and Time; and the politics and science of biblical archaeology in Israel for the book Unholy Business and for the Los Angeles Times . [21] [22] She spent several years working on a book about biblical archaeology and forgery in Israel, which was published in 2009 as Unholy Business: A True Tale of Faith, Greed and Forgery in the Holy Land.
In June 2009, Burleigh and her family moved to the Italian city of Perugia, where Amanda Knox was being tried on a murder charge, to write a book. Burleigh intended the story to be an exploration of young women's experiences and media portrayal in the modern world. [23] The book was published in 2011 as The Fatal Gift of Beauty: The Trials of Amanda Knox.
In January 2019, the London Daily Telegraph was forced to apologize and pay "substantial damages" for publishing an article written by Burleigh. The article, titled "The Mystery of Melania", was found to contain numerous fallacies. [24] "[Melania] Trump often refers to opportunists out to advance themselves by disparaging her name and image," Stephanie Grisham, Trump's communications director, said in a statement to CNN. "She will not sit by as people and media outlets make up lies and false assertions in a race for ratings or to sell tabloid headlines." [25]
Burleigh, however, stood by the article in her subsequent book The Golden Handcuffs: The Secret History of Trump’s Women. “ [26] On January 30, 2019 Burleigh's lawyers threatened the Telegraph parent company TMG with a lawsuit:
In fact, it is TMG's Apology that is false. It appears that fear of Mrs Trump's lawyer Mr Harder, the "Gawker slayer", caused TMG to capitulate abjectly in the face of his letter without regard to normal journalistic principles, at the cost of Ms Burleigh's personal and professional reputation. In reality, the statements in the Article that Mrs Trump complained about were (1) well-sourced, (2) professionally fact checked before publication, (3) extensively reviewed by a lawyer retained by Gallery, (4) given proper and prudent caveats in the Article, and (5) benign. TMG had nothing to apologise for, and both the fact that it did so, and the particularly lurid way it abandoned the Article, have turned Ms Burleigh into an international poster girl for "fake news".
