David Asman (/ˈæzmən/; born 1954 in Hollis, New York) is an American television news anchor for the Fox Business Network and the Fox News Channel.
Asman first joined Fox News in 1997. He hosts Forbes on Fox and numerous other Fox News Specials. He previously hosted Fox News Live weekdays before joining the Fox News Channel's documentary unit.
In 1978, Asman was hired as an assistant editor at Prospect. The next year, he became the magazine's executive editor. In 1980, Asman was hired by George Gilder to start an economic journal at the Manhattan Institute.
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 Wall Street 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.
