Meet IndyStar Midwest Connect Manager Jenny Porter Tilley
It takes a staff of dedicated journalists to bring you the news from around Central Indiana. In this feature, the Indianapolis Star introduces readers to our newsroom staff — or, rather, we let them introduce themselves. Up this week is Jenny Porter Tilley. Manager of Midwest Connect, which covers local and national trending stories I began working for IndyStar on the digital team in 2023 after having jobs elsewhere in the company. I'm always amazed to realize I get paid to basically read and write all day. There's a content feeling you get when you're sucked into a video game or a show you're binge-watching. I often get that same feeling just doing my job. I initially went into the field to become a high school teacher, and my only journalism experience was as a college student. When I realized I couldn't teach journalism properly without having spent more time actually doing it, I sought out a newsroom job. It became fairly clear immediately that this was the field I belonged in. The things I liked about being a teacher are very much a part of what I do now. I don't want to start a fight, and this definitely will, but the best pizza is Bazbeaux. With so much time staring at different screens, reading a physical book feels like a treat. I just started reading "The Familiar" by Leigh Bardugo. And I'm on my fourth or fifth round of watching all of the episodes available so far of "Abbott Elementary." "Emotions" by Mariah Carey, specifically to embarrass my daughter. "When in doubt, leave it out." Definitely "Lost." I love both, but my history is damning. When I lived alone for the first time, I immediately adopted two cats. (One is still around and very old.) Probably the thing I already said about singing Mariah Carey (badly — but that part isn't surprising). I think it's fun when the football players run around the marching band field. But more seriously, I love baseball, even though I don't care who the players or teams are. When I got COVID in 2020, I basically didn't want to eat or drink anything. I spent a good portion of the pandemic eating Reese's Puffs Cereal and drinking Sprite — specifically Sprite from a can only — because nothing else tasted good.
