An independent multimedia journalist based in Montréal, Thomas Smith has been writing a weekly opinion column in the Montreal Mirror for over three years under the pen name Jack Oatmon, blogging on politics, art, culture and music since 2005, and, more recently, has produced several short documentaries on technology, poverty and alternative uses of derelict space.
Several years of travel, living and work experience abroad in two dozen countries on several continents, combined with a passion for literature and photography, has given him a nuanced perspective on the nature of globalization, technological proliferation and community networking.
Thomas Smith currently lives, works, studies and produces in Montréal's Plateau area, and will be completing a BA Specialization in Broadcast and Print Journalism in early 2010.
