Kalman Seigel (1917–1998) was an American journalist, best known as editor of "Letters to the Editor" as part of his 41 years at the New York Times [1] [2] [3]
Background [ edit ]
Kalman Seigel was born on October 17, 1917. In 1939, he graduated from City College of New York .[2]
During his 41 years at the New York Times , Seigel worked assistant metropolitan editor, suburban editor, and reporter. During 1950–1, he covered the trial of government economist William Remington , accused by Elizabeth Bentley of working in her Soviet spy ring.[4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] McCarthyism on academic freedom, to the last of which New York University philosophy professor Sidney Hook (among others) wrote a reply.[11] [12] [13] New York Times editorials–annually, some 50,000 letters rejected to 3,000 published – "a period that embraced the end of the Vietnam War , the rise and fall of Richard M. Nixon , and Woodstock ."[1] [2] [3]
Upon retiring from the Times on December 31, 1980, he wrote:
As steward of the section that is the public's most direct route to the columns of this paper, I have tried to enhance openness, welcoming a great diversity of opinion. As I leave, I am grateful to all letters writers for their faith in the liberty that Euripides tells us comes only when "freeborn men speak free."[1] [3]
He taught journalism at Brooklyn College , Long Island University , and his alma mater City College.[1] [2]
