About the Publisher

Hi, I'm Thomas Smith, the founder and editor of the Bay Area Telegraph. I'm a Bay Area journalist and professional photographer whose work has appeared in SFGATE, Fast Company, The Bold Italic, Forbes, and other local and national publications.

​

I created the Bay Area Telegraph to provide useful, original reporting about the places where we live. I'm especially interested in the stories that shape everyday life -- a new restaurant opening, a neighborhood business closing, an important local decision, or an event worth putting on your calendar.

​

I live in the Bay Area with my wife and three children, and I care deeply about helping people feel more connected to their communities. The City brings that approach to San Francisco with concise, independent reporting you can actually use.
