Bob Danzig’s life story took him from a childhood spent in five foster homes to nationwide head of The Hearst Newspaper Group and vice president of The Hearst Corporation. After graduating from high school he took a job as an office boy at his local newspaper, the Albany (N.Y) Times Union; nineteen years later he became publisher of the Times Union, before heading to the helm of The Hearst Newspaper Group. Danzig is currently a member of the teaching faculty at the prestigious New School University and the guiding hand of The Hearst Management Institute. His goal is to be an instrument for renewed affirmation that every single person is worthwhile. As an industry leader, he has served the Newspaper Association of America, Newspaper Advertising Bureau, New Directions for News and the American Press Institute, and has earned industry-wide respect for his innovative marketing leadership. Danzig was also awarded one of 12 professional journalism fellowships at Stanford University, the only business executive ever to be accepted into this program. He now serves on its board. When Bob stepped down as CEO of the Hearst Newspaper Group and accelerated his speaking/author career, the scope of the gifting was expanded to include support for foster care children in college. Significant numbers of those children have benefited from this support. No outside funds are sought or accepted for the charity. It is funded wholly from Bob’s speaking/lecture fees and author royalties—all of which are donated to the charity. He has also been inducted in the the Speakers Hall of Fame for his outstanding contributions to the lecture industry, an honor bestowed on only five speakers each year, by the 4,000-member National Speakers Association.
