ABOUT ME

Monserrat Solis is a sophomore at Valley College and plans to transfer to a 4-year University by Fall 2019. Currently, majoring in Communication. Her goal is to transfer to a University with a strong journalism program like USC or CSUN. This is her first year as Co-Editor-in-Chief and layout editor for The Valley Star. Starting Journalism 101 last fall, she found writing and reporting interesting and enjoyed it. Continuing in journalism classes, becoming a staff writer and editor has given her experience to write, design, and publish a newspaper. She also attended the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY and received an Associates degree in Baking and Pastry in 2017. Because of her background in the food industry, she hopes to become a food writer.

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.
