About the Gazette

The WESS Gazette (previously WESS Side Stories) was revived in December 2024 and has stood as West End Secondary School's official school newspaper ever since. This is a place where students can learn valuable journalism and research skills, while producing authentic content about their local communities. 

The WESS Gazette is committed to publishing high-quality, accurate news. All publications are original and authentic. The WESS Gazette stands behind its writers, editors, and publishers. No content will be altered or adjusted for the benefit of another party. 

The WESS Gazette has secured funding and support through the Journalism for All program of the NYC Youth Journalism Coalition. More information on this initiative can be found here.
