Austin Gonzalez-Angel is an English major in his second year at LAVC. Growing up in North Hollywood, his heart strongly resides in the Hispanic communities and their stories. Working in freelance photography, reading piles of science fiction, and an overflow of movies being added to his watchlist, he loves all forms of media. After taking several English courses, his interest in the stories showcasing individuals and their journeys throughout their lives, motivates him to tell the stories of the individuals that have yet to be told.

Mission Statement

THE VALLEY STAR News is the independent student media outlet of Los Angeles Valley College. The Valley Star News is a website (including its social media platforms), a general-circulation broadsheet, and a magazine (The Crown) that serves as a laboratory for the journalism/photography programs and a bulletin board for the campus community. It is subject to the protections and limitations of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The highest standards of responsible and ethical journalism always apply, as do the libel laws of the land.

The Star News is first and foremost a campus media outlet. This must be reflected as much as possible in its coverage. Its mandate is to represent and inform the student body of Valley College. It reflects the interests of that community in all areas – campus news, current events, politics, sports, arts, entertainment, and more.
