Jerry Ough is a freelance broadcast journalist getting his reporter’s feet wet in the Valley College print news pool. Jerry began his path through Valley’s Journalism Dept. in Fall 2018 and was instantly hooked. He previously was a general assignment reporter in the KLON newsroom covering Los Angeles City and County government, arts and culture, Caltech, environment and local pro sports stories. His education plans include transfering to CSUN’s acclaimed Journalism Dept. and continuing to carve out his niche as the longest running broadcast reporter covering the Los Angeles jazz community.

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.
