Jeramy Gordon has a long history of building and growing daily newspapers. He spent four years working for Priceless, LLC and later Knight-Ridder, Inc. running six successful newspapers in the San Francisco Bay Area.

He became the youngest Managing Editor in the history of Knight-Ridder when he was hired to run a chain of six free-daily newspapers.

Mr. Gordon was an employee of the Palo Alto Daily News when newspaper giant, Knight-Ridder, bought the papers in early 2005. After leaving Knight Ridder in 2006, Gordon went on to start his own free daily newspaper in Santa Barbara called the Santa Barbara Daily Sound. The Daily Sound is a free fiveday- a-week "micro newspaper" focusing mainly on local news.

He is a graduate of Menlo College, a small private business school in Atherton, California, where he received a bachelor’s degree in Media Management and Business Administration.

Mr. Gordon also personally over saw the revival of his college paper, The Menlo Oak, by changing the paper’s advertising policy and completely redesigning the it with a more professional look. He has won awards from the Peninsula Press Club and the California Newspaper Publisher's Association for news writing, headline writing and page design.

Mr. Gordon got his start at the Palo Alto Daily News in 2001 when he began as a freelancer for the sports department. Gordon had applied for a job at the paper, but was turned down due to lack of experience. He didn't give up. He bought a police scanner and a digital camera and started to cover stories in the greater Palo Alto area.

After a few months of submitting stories and photos to the Daily News, Gordon arrived at his part-time job and picked up a copy of the Palo Alto Daily News to find one of his photos on the front page. Gordon immediately called the paper and requested another interview. He was hired on as part-time copy editor in the sports department.
