  Electroweak boson-tagged jet measurements provide a promising experimental
channel to accurately study the physics of jet production and propagation in
dense QCD medium. In this talk, we present theoretical predictions for the
nuclear-induced attenuation of the differential cross section for isolated
photon-tagged and $\rm Z^0$-tagged jet production in heavy ion collisions, and
provide theoretical interpretations to the recent LHC data. We demonstrate
quantitatively the significance of collisional and radiative energy losses, as
revealed in the strong momentum asymmetry $d\sigma/dx_{VJ}$ and nuclear
modification $\rm I_{AA}$ in central lead-lead reactions.
