Daniel Seligman (September 25, 1924 – January 31, 2009)[1] was an American newspaper editor and columnist at Fortune magazine from 1950 to 1997.
After serving in the United States Army during World War II, Seligman graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree.
[1] He wrote for The American Mercury, Commonweal, and The New Leader before being hired by Fortune magazine in 1950 as a writer.
[1] In a February 1988 editorial marking Seligman's transition to a contributing editor after 37 years at the magazine, the managing editor of Fortune, Marshall Loeb, described Seligman as "an acerbic slayer of (mostly liberal) prig-headedness ... [who] uses elegance and trenchant wit to wage his never-ending battle against fustian thinking.
Free to take the work elsewhere, he doubled the size of his original submission and shifted publishers to Birch Lane Press.
