From 1986 to 1993, Golden wrote for the Globe's Sunday "Focus" section and weekly magazine.[5] After a year as an investigative reporter, Golden was a special projects reporter for the Globe from 1994 until leaving in 1998.[5]

As Deputy Bureau Chief at the Boston bureau of The Wall Street Journal he received the Pulitzer Prize for Beat Reporting in 2004 for a series of articles on admissions preferences in elite American universities, specifically relating to the enormous advantages enjoyed by more affluent white students,[7] and the use of development cases (admissions based on potential donations).[8] He earned the 2011 Gerald Loeb Award for Beat Reporting for his article "Education Inc.".[9] Golden is also a three time recipient of the George Polk Award.[10]
A series of articles that Golden edited about Corporate Tax Inversions won Bloomberg's first Pulitzer Prize in 2015.[11] Golden also co-edited a ProPublica series on Latin American asylum-seekers caught between the U.S. government and the MS-13 gang, which won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for feature writing.
