Our Team
The people behind Green Mermaid Review’s reporting, photography and reviews.
Green Mermaid Review is a small, independent newsroom. Every story carries a byline so you know who reported it and who is accountable for it.
Thomas Smith
Founder & Editor
Founder and editor of Green Mermaid Review and Editor in Chief of the Bay Area Telegraph. A journalist and news photographer whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Food & Wine, Fast Company and SFGate.
About our bylines
Stories published under a person’s name were reported and written by that person and reviewed by an editor. Stories published under the Green Mermaid Review Editorial Team byline represent collaborative reporting by multiple members of our staff, including fast-moving news updates, roundups and service pieces. Editorial Team stories follow exactly the same editorial standards as everything else we publish.
Work with us
We occasionally work with freelance contributors and photographers, especially people who can report on store openings, closures and menu changes in their own cities. If that sounds like you, get in touch.
