  Background and Distinctions  
  The Ventura County Star is a six-edition newspaper serving the communities of Simi Valley, Moorpark, Thousand Oaks, Camarillo, Oxnard and Ventura. Located approximately 55 miles north of Los Angeles, Ventura County covers an 1,800 square-mile region and has a population of 791,000 residents. The Star is by far the dominant newspaper in the county, with twice the circulation of the Los Angeles Times and almost five times the circulation of the Los Angeles Daily News. The Star also has one of the highest household penetration rates in Southern California, reaching 40 percent of its primary market area as compared to most other newspapers. In 1999, the newspaper inaugurated the "The Star Series," a highly acclaimed annual symposium featuring leaders from journalism, business, education and politics discussing various topics about the media's role in society. From its daring beginning in 1993, when six separate newspapers were combined into one, the Ventura County Star has emerged as a true Southern California success story.
