Why THE STAR?

Wise men (and women) follow The Star-News! The Star-News reflects a bold  light on the concerns facing the community, surrounding cities, states and the world. The people have questioned long enough if there was a media source that would follow the true  Code of Ethics with the integrity that holds journalism  accountable. It is time for a renewed (old school journalist) media source to show up, shine and bring "just the facts" to the people, while reporting REAL NEWS.

Our logo:  The Star is symbolic of "one cohesive community" created by the artists, musicians, educators, craftsmen and women, including the generous individuals and organizations that contribute to individuals coming together to make one great community. The Star-News is honored to be one small part of the Idyllwild community. 

Going UP? 

In business and in life, sometimes we can stand in one place for so long that our perspective remains the same. This is much like running in place and finding you're not going anywhere. However, when someone comes along and sees your vision, a new perspective is presented. This new perspective includes creative ideas and effective strategies. Your life and business can get energized, thus allowing it to move forward to success. Let Monroe Publishing market your business with a new perspective and coach your team to reach a higher level of success.
