Mike Frankel

Mike Frankel oversees regional news coverage at the Bay Area News Group for The Mercury News and East Bay Times. This means he gets the chance to learn something new every day from a team of editors and reporters who are among the region's most-trusted experts on everything from politics to the environment, science to state government, healthcare to higher education. While he's passionate about bicycling, not to mention baseball and beer and enjoying both at AT&T Park, he still pulls for his hometown St. Louis Cardinals.
