Ep. 11 - Monica Stark

Hello, and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 11th episode, our guest is Monica Stark. Monica grew up in San Jose, attended UC Berkeley and graduated in 2004 with a bachelor’s in English literature. At the time she didn’t think she had what it takes to be a journalist. Even then, journalism was a dying profession, and her parents advised against writing as a career — so she decided to enroll in the teaching credential program at Sacramento State. Big mistake! Monica truly loves what she does and can’t imagine doing anything else. She has been in the business for 12 years. As editor of Valley Community Newspapers in Sacramento, California, she has been editing the Land Park News, East Sacramento News, Pocket News and Arden-Carmichael News for 3-and-a-half years. Each of those papers is published twice a month. She is also the editor of the weekly West Sacramento News-Ledger and California Kids! All of these publications rely on community journalism.
