Bob Danzig - Nationwide head of The Hearst Newspaper Group and vice president of The Hearst Corporation; Author; Motivational Speaker

Quote
Bob Danzig Author/Motivational Speaker As a child, Bob Danzig never imagined that he would be in the position to help other foster children. Several decades after the caring social worker moving a 12-year-old Bob from his fourth to his fifth foster home told him, “You are worthwhile,” he has found himself repeating those same words to today’s foster children. Bob grew from a childhood spent in five foster homes to two decades as nationwide head of The Hearst Newspaper Group and vice president of The Hearst Corporation. After graduating from high school with no family support, 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. Now an author and motivational speaker, Bob is also 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. A civic leader, Bob has served on boards of directors of Albany Medical College, Siena College, Russell Sage College, St. Peter’s Hospital, Sunnyview Hospital, Albany Institute of History and Art, and Caldwell College, and on the executive committee of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. In addition to graduating magna cum laude from Siena College, he received the college’s Outstanding Alumni Award, as well as an honorary Ph.D. Bob was also recognized as a Knight of Malta. As an industry leader, Bob 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. Bob 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. Bob has set out to touch the spirits of foster children, caregivers, and social workers nationwide by sharing the messages of his two books and demonstrating how kind words and affirmations of others can influence the lives of those in the foster care community. His books are gifted to the foster care community and his net royalties from traditional book sales are donated to a charity he and his wife developed to offer college scholarships to foster children. Bob says: “Children in foster care often drift through life because there is no force to offer encouragement or guidance with grades, special interests, homework, and so on. Many of these children have all of their intellectual and emotional energy focused on not being pushed away from yet another foster family, leaving little energy to tap into and develop the potential of their lives.”
