Talk:Orla Guerin

message: Does anybody know if Orla Guerin is related to the murdered Irish journalist :Veronica Guerin? Their birth years are close enough for them to be sisters (or perhaps cousins). Cgingold (talk) 23:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Veronica Guerin 

message: What is the evidence for the controversy? Surely there need to be two sides for a controversy. The section reproduced below insinuates that she was removed as BBC's Middle East correspondent for biased reporting. I'm not sure if the sources cited or mentioned are reliable enough to justify that implication. I know nothing about the matter, but it occurs to me that the BBC would not have appointed her to another key post if they thought her biased. (Or removed her if, as the Tom Gross source suggests, the BBC like biased reporters.) qp10qp (talk) 15:05, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In the absence of any response, I've removed this now. My grounds are that the sources—the website cited and the Counterpunch website mentioned (where I can't locate this article)—do not measure up as reliable sources. If the points made are correct, I'm sure they could be sourced from newspapers. In the meantime, it doesn't seem fair to me that this reporter should have her professional integrity doubted on the basis of such sources and without the courtesy of balance. qp10qp (talk) 13:42, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Controversy?

message: The article informs us that Guerin is "currently the BBC's Pakistan correspondent based in Islamabad". However, a search on the BBC site shows her reporting from Libya recently. Can anyone say what her current position is? --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 08:48, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Number10a just added a link to Guerin's BBC profile which indicates that she's based in Jerusalem. I'll update the article accordingly. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 13:28, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: She's been reporting a good deal from Pakistan over the last three years, on flooding of the Indus, on tribal and political violence and so on. I'm a regular viewer of BBC World News and I recall seeing her in news relating to Pakistan but rarely in reporting from Africa or indeed Israel. 83.254.151.33 (talk) 13:39, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  currently based where? 

message: I've added a citation needed tag to this. While it is clear that she did move to South Africa later in the article Greg Dyke's opinion is stated that she was likely moved as part of a rotation. The sentence in the introduction to the article appears to imply a causal link between Thomson's visit and Guerin being "removed" as Middle East correspondent. Is there a reliable source that states that this was the reason?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rotatingastrothing (talk • contribs) 12:40, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "removed" as BBC Middle East correspondent?

message: In the Google search results, this Wikipedia entry reads:
"Orla Guerin MBE well-known bigot and anti-Semite (born 15 May 1966) is an Irish journalist. She is a BBC Africa correspondent and was previously Middle East ..."
clearly the first sentence should be edited. Anyone know how to edit the page description?
