Confirmed: Harriet Sherwood announces her departure from Jerusalem

A source recently forwarded us the following email, confirming information we had received a couple of weeks ago.

We have been monitoring Sherwood’s work at the Guardian since her debut as their Jerusalem correspondent in July of 2010, and though in many ways her coverage was fully consistent with the politics of the Guardian Left, pro-Palestinian circles in which she travels, we also published a few posts which noted her modest growth as a reporter. 

Here are a few of the more popular CiF Watch posts about Sherwood’s reporting.
