The Galena Country Journal is a section of the Galena JDC website that pairs journalistic writing with authentic photography and mini-documentary videos to showcase the characters that make the area so special. While the rest of the site was created to be a useful tool to present the details of the various attractions around the county, the GCJ was meant to be a change of pace. With this section, we wanted to use a more emotional approach to capture the essence of one of the more unique areas of the midwest.
This section of the website is updated regularly through themed editions that each contain several articles related to the main subject. So far we have created editions based around the themes of history, arts, and cuisine. I look forward to completing additional editions in the coming year and telling additional stories of the people that give the area its unique personality.
This project is a section of the Galena Jo Daveiss County CVB Website which was awarded best website at the Excellence in Tourism Awards at the 2017 Illinois Governor’s Conference on Travel and Tourism.
