A bit about us...

With a focus on positive, local news, Allegheny West Magazine publishes four unique editions, each of which is tailored to a different school district in western Allegheny County. Issues are mailed to every residential and business street address, as provided by the United States Postal Service, in the school district that issue serves. Allegheny West Magazine publishes editions serving the West Allegheny, Montour, Moon Area and Cornell School Districts. The West Allegheny edition is published and distributed on the even months of the year, while the Moon and Montour editions are published and distributed on the odd months. Cornell is published quarterly. As part of their respective editions, the magazine publishes the official school newsletters for each of those school districts in each issue.

Allegheny West Magazine was founded by Imperial resident Pat Jennette as a spin-off of her company, which provides public relations and marketing services to school districts and small businesses. Over the years, the magazine grew to distribute well over 30,000 copies across numerous communities, thanks in large part to support from local businesses.

In January of 2014, the magazine transitioned ownership to Jennette’s assistant editor of nearly two years, Doug Hughey. A West Allegheny graduate, Hughey is also an alumnus of the University of Pittsburgh and holds a master of fine arts from Emerson College. Before coming to work for Jennette, Hughey contributed to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s forum and op-ed sections. He now runs the magazine with his wife, Sarah, a graduate of Montour, Pitt and Harvard University
