Gabe Braunstein is the youngest staff writer at the paper and possibly of all time. He's a massive Pokemon nerd and an amateur Starcraft 2 caster on his free time. He dreams of being a journalist to cover events like E3 and Comic-Con, as well as major Esports events like BlizzCon. He first got into journalism while working at his school's radio show, and after he showed a knack for writing and leadership, he later was promoted to the head of writers. He has strong opinions and even stronger morals. When he's not writing, he normally is with his donkey, reading a good book, or playing video games.

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.
