About

The Joliet West Tiger Tales is a publication produced by the Multimedia Journalism students of Joliet West High School. Under the guidance of Ms. Jenn Galloy, our dedicated student editors and staff writers work diligently to provide timely updates on events and developments within the Joliet West community.

Our journalism program is rooted in the belief that students must see accurate representations of themselves in their school’s media to feel safe and valued. We commit to inclusivity in our publications by balancing universal themes of individuality with specific, culturally relevant reporting. We proudly maintain an open-door policy, encouraging participation from students of diverse backgrounds. By allowing writers to propose stories on topics that resonate with them, we ensure that our coverage reflects a multitude of perspectives, shaped by the varied interests of our student body.

This website is regularly updated by students to guarantee current news offerings. Furthermore, the Tiger Tales produces over 2,000 copies of an 8-20 page newspaper several times each year, distributed to students, staff, and parents.

In addition to the newspaper, students work diligently to produce a weekly news show featuring segments crafted by peers. We invite you to follow our media program on various platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. The Multimedia

Journalism students convene daily to collaborate on projects ranging from the newspaper to the yearbook. With the infusion of new talent and experiences, we are excited to share more of our work with the public this year.
