I'm Elvin Gonzalez and I'm attending Valley College to get my ADT in Journalism and I plan to transfer to Cal State Northridge to earn my Bachelor's degree in Journalism. What made me want to become a journalist was my passion for sports since I was a kid. Huge fan of the Raiders and Lakers. In high school during my senior year as one of my elective courses I was involved with the school newspaper interviewing people and also did some photography. I started my sports page on Instagram when I was a senior in high school where I voice my opinion on all NBA and NFL teams, where other sports fans can get realistic predictions for their favorite team. After years of just talking just sports I made another page where I post news stories, music, movie and tv show reviews and much more. What I want to do with Journalism is to turn my passion into a career. I want to travel the world and witness all the great events such as Comic con, the Oscars, Super Bowls and many other great events. For the long term I want to be self-employed and have my own show where I discuss topics of my interest.

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.
