Andrea Gemmet, a longtime editor of The Almanac, has returned to the publication after a two-year stint overseeing editorial coverage at PUNCH Magazine. Gemmet, who was previously the editor from 2020 to 2023, is now back at the helm of The Almanac's newsroom, which has seen some changes in staffing since her departure.
Why it matters
Gemmet's return to The Almanac represents a homecoming for the veteran journalist, who has deep roots in the Midpeninsula community and a strong track record of providing trustworthy, well-informed local news coverage. Her familiarity with the region and commitment to serving as a watchdog for the communities The Almanac covers will be valuable assets as the publication continues to evolve.

After a two-year stint overseeing editorial coverage at PUNCH Magazine, a Menlo Park-based publication, Gemmet has now returned to lead The Almanac's newsroom, which includes two new reporters, Arden Margulis and Jennifer Yoshikoshi, as well as a transformed parent company, the Embarcadero Media Foundation.
