ABOUT ME

Natalie Metcalf was born in New York City and raised in Los Angeles. She originally fell in love with journalism when reading her mothers old “Nancy Drew” books. Over the beginning of the pandemic, Natalie watched “All the President's Men” and knew she wanted to be an investigative journalist. But with an interest in film, Natalie wishes to pursue a career in writing movie reviews and hard news stories. The journalism major works hard to improve her writing and gain more knowledge about the stories she writes. After receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Journalism, Natalie wants to travel to the UK. One day, she would like to move back to New York City and write for a news publication.

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.
