Doug Kass of TheStreet.com writes Sunday about the influence of Dan Dorfman, a longtime business journalist who died Saturday, on the industry.
“His pedigree wasn’t fancy. He grew up in an orphanage. His early years were spent in West Hempstead, N.Y., the Long Island town next to Rockville Centre, where I grew up. He graduated from the New York School of Print the year that I was born, 1949.
“In the 1980s he was a featured commentator on CNN (often appearing with Myron Kandel) and eventually went to CNBC in the 1990s. Dan was also the influential author of The Wall Street Journal’s Heard on The Street Column’ in the 1980s.
