The Analyst: Jeremy Adam Smith
Jeremy Adam Smith conducts his reporting with patience, persistence and an open mind, and uncovers nuanced stories that other journalists overlook.
As a freelance reporter for the Public Press, Jeremy crafts stories that explain complex situations and resonate with readers. He is the lead reporter on our upcoming project on education inequality in San Francisco public schools.
“No other publication in San Francisco has the same depth, integrity, and seriousness,” Jeremy says. “At no other publication can I write the kinds of stories that I do for the Public Press.”
Jeremy has worked with the Public Press since Issue No. 1; he proposed the idea for the first special reporting project, a multifaceted examination of redevelopment plans to turn Treasure Island into an “ecotopian dream” of sustainable urban living. He later reported on the decline of media outlets and journalism jobs in the Bay Area, and on new ideas in juvenile justice being tried in San Francisco public schools.
Jeremy is the full-time Web editor for the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, a former John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University, and the author and coeditor of several books on parenting and fatherhood.
With his broad background in journalism and academia, Jeremy brings a perspective informed by insights from trends in education and social science research — a perfect pairing for the Public Press’ data-driven reporting methods.
