Mission and Values

Since its founding in 1892, The Tattler has been dedicated to self-expression and student journalism. As a platform for critical and creative writing, The Tattler helps students find their voices through a friendly, collaborative editing process and our monthly writer’s meetings. We are committed to accomplishing this through adherence to our core tenets. 

Self-Expression

We value student perspectives and edit with the goal of preserving the writer’s voice. We encourage all students to share their work with us.

Community

We keep our newspaper free and available around Ithaca. We aim to provide original, accurate coverage of topics that affect the people around us. 

Personal Growth

We are dedicated to fostering a generation of passionate young thinkers. We take pride in helping student contributors practice and improve their skills through constructive feedback. We also strive to engage and inspire our readership by introducing them to new ideas.
