He previously was managing editor of the Pine Bluff (Arkansas) Commercial (1963–68) and the Arkansas Democrat (1968–71). After retiring from The Inquirer, Foreman was the inaugural Larry and Ellen Foster Professor at Pennsylvania State University (1998–2006).

Daniel R. Biddle wrote investigative stories for The Philadelphia Inquirer in 1986 that won a Pulitzer Prize. With two other reporters, he produced the series “Disorder in the Court,” which revealed transgressions of justice in the Philadelphia court system and led to federal and state investigations.

He has a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Michigan and was a Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.
