Julie Szego

[3] Szego wrote a monthly column for The Australian Jewish News for seven years and edited her father's 2001 memoir, Two Prayers to One God.

[6] Szego is the author of the non-fiction book The Tainted Trial of Farah Jama, which was shortlisted for the Victorian[7] and NSW Premiers’[8] Literary Awards for 2015.

In March 2023, Szego attended an anti-trans rally, which was organised by British anti-transgender rights activist Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, on the steps of the Victorian parliament house.

[11] In June 2023, Szego was sacked from her position at The Age after making public comments saying that a "committee of woke journalists" at the newspaper had silenced her by refusing to publish her article on youth gender transition.

[10][12] The chief editor of The Age, Patrick Elligett, stated that Szego was not sacked for the content of the article, but for her repeated public criticisms of the newspaper and its staff.
