David Asman (pronounced /ˈæzmən/; born 1954 in Hollis, New York)^[1] is an American television news anchor for the Fox Business Network and the Fox News Channel.

Early years

Asman began his career at the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal, where he covered Latin America for 12 years, before becoming editorial features editor. While in Latin America (during the volatile period of the 1980s), he wrote over 100 articles and won several awards from the Inter-American Press Association for his writings on Cuba and Mexico, as well as for his editing of a weekly column on Latin America. During this period, Asman also edited a column on business management for the Journal called "Manager's Journal." Two collections of these columns were published, the last of which, The Wall Street Journal On Management: Adding Value Through Synergy, was published by Doubleday. Asman was appointed editorial features editor at a time when the Journal's editorial page was breaking stories on Whitewater. Asman left the Wall Street Journal to join Fox News in 1997, one year after the news channel's inception. He has interviewed many politicians, newsmakers, and business leaders such as Sarah, Duchess of York, Congressman Ron Paul Rupert Murdoch, Barry Diller, Michael Eisner, Steve Forbes, William F. Buckley, Jr, John R. Bolton, Otto Reich, Mosab Hassan Yousef, Pat Robertson, Rudy Giuliani, Woody Johnson, Donald Trump, Buzz Aldrin, Ben Stein, Dick Cavett, Stan Lee, Peter Guber, Chuck Norris, David Stern, Don Garber, Joe Gibbs, Cal Ripken, Jr, Danika Patrick, and the Williams sisters; U.S. President George W. Bush; Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper; Navy secretary J. William Middendorf; former S.E.C. chairman Harvey Pitt; and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. David Asman is formerly of the conservative Manhattan Institute.^[2]
