Goldenberg was born and raised in Canada.[1] She joinedThe Guardian in 1988, covering the break-up of the former Soviet Union, and later serving asThe Guardian's South Asia and Middle East Correspondents. As Middle East correspondent, she covered the Palestinian intifada in 2000–2002, and in 2003 was one of the few western reporters based in Baghdad covering the US invasion of Iraq. She becameThe Guardian's US environment correspondent in 2009. She resides inWashington, D.C. with her family.[1]
Goldenberg reported on many military conflicts early in her career, such as the wars in Chechnya, Georgia, and Nagorno Karabakh in the early 1990s, theTaliban takeover ofAfghanistan in 1996, and the2003 invasion of Iraq. She won aBayeux-Calvados Award for war correspondents for her coverage in Iraq.[1] She also has reported on theIsraeli–Palestinian conflict, for which she was named theReporter of the Year byWhat the Papers Say, theForeign Press Association, and theLondon Press Club.
