Patrick M. Pixley is an editor for the Community News Team and senior at Golden Valley. The research of state, national and international news is fascinating and how it affects local and life for those around the world that he finds interests in. As a lot of the time people do not realize that news that doesn’t directly affect them even though it may indirectly affect them largely ways that are not immediately visible which he finds the most important part of journalism.

He finds that student journalism is important, as historically student journalism gives voice to those who do not have the ability to vote or affect politics in such a way that adults do not. Student journalism has challenged established forcing them to more into consideration, refine or change so that they adapt to the criticism. Patrick is excited that taking part in something that is critical of information allows me to challenge my opinions and world views. 

Patrick is a born and raised Santa Clarita resident that wants to spread more information, and would appreciate any criticism of topics or more in-depth details of the information that he reporting on, or topics that you find should be covered.
