Right?

So they found an issue and acted on it, that only further shows their credibility.

The article is written by "MEE Staff" and while it mentions their journalist Maha Hussaini has left her home in the North, she wasn't the author of the article.

Other sources are not named.

This whole event is rife with mis/disinformation. It's best to be cautious.

But Shatha would have presumably published articles before being caught.

Even DW had such cases, it happens. Publications have their editorial control but they generally don't employ spy agencies to keep tabs on what everyone does in their off-time all the time.

Yes?

Do you think it’s a standard practice for all journalists to have their past social media scoured before employment?

It was found and it was handled adequately, that’s only realistically good outcome you can get in that situation.
