Dan Wolf (publisher)

Dan Wolf (1936-1996) was an American publisher best known as the co-founder, along with Edwin Fancher and Norman Mailer, of The Village Voice, a prominent alternative weekly newspaper in New York City.

Wolf, initially serving as editor and publisher, played a crucial role in shaping the Voice's editorial direction and establishing its reputation for covering counter-cultural movements, political activism, arts, and alternative lifestyles. He brought a distinct voice and perspective to the publication, helping to define its unique character.

After leaving The Village Voice in 1974, Wolf continued to work in publishing, though his later career did not achieve the same level of recognition. His contribution to alternative journalism and the development of a vibrant media landscape in New York City remains significant.
