Mrs. Trudy Rubin

Trudy Rubin
Philadelphia Inquirer
March 2015

After scavenging the all-knowing Google and Wikipedia, information regarding Trudy Rubin's background is scarce to say the le
ast. What is known, however, is her most recent jobs and experiences. Graduating from the London School of Economics, Rubin dived into foreign and international politics, spending countless hours as a journalist for several newspapers (Moscow News and The Monitor and The Christian Science Monitor). She spends time frequently in areas of conflict such as the middle east and other Asian countries. Her dedication to her skills indicate a certain level of expertise unique to her. At the moment, she works for The Philadelphia Inquirer and comments on social and political issues in her Worldview column.

Mrs. Rubin is a valuable asset to The Philadelphia Inquirer's team of journalists. Much of her success can be derived from her academic achievements and experiences in other countries. Her content is widely known for its emphasis upon social issues and the interesting stances she takes on the topics. Most recently, Rubin has made notes on ISIS, analyzed the GOP letter to Iran, advocated women's rights in Afghanistan, and taken a deeper look into the relationship between Ghani and the U.S.

Rubin's content features subtle attacks on the Republican party, analyses of relationships, and promotions of women's rights. For this reason, I feel comfortable saying the Rubin is more affiliated with the democratic party than she is with GOP. Her political stance is not explicitly stated but, if I were to guess, would most likely be based off of these last few articles and what they have had to offer. However,  it is also worth noting her indifferent tone in articulation: she maintains a (for the most part) unbiased tone to convey messages in a manner more appealing to both audiences.

From what I understand, Rubin does not have any history of plagiarism or infringements upon the rules of the literary sphere. I admire her authenticity and credit her fully for her work and its absence of flaws. For this reason, Trudy Rubin remains a prominent figure in her field and contests regularly with other large journalists. She is similar to McManus in the sense that they are both "fair" in their conduct of argument and reason through

  2. Interesting comments. I searched as well for information about Trudy Rubin, and am surprised that there is a dearth of information about her for some reason. I am always impressed by her columns when they appear in our daily newspaper, and find it puzzling that it is difficult to find out much about her background. I read In one online source that she went to Smith College.
