Valerie Garner is editor and publisher of the Roanoke Free Press.
She began as a freelance writer for a local weekly newspaper The Roanoke Star-Sentinel covering city hall, schools and other local events. She also includes state political issues that relate to the Southwest Virginia localities.
She has a knack for scoops and uncovering little-known side stories that fill the gap between “just the facts” with “beneath the surface” angles that tell the complete story. A little comedy never hurts neither does a little reasoned observational opinion.
She makes her home in Roanoke City and is a retired information technology professional. As an advocate for open government she is a member of the VCOG (Virginia Coalition for Open Government).
Supporting her neighborhood as President of her neighborhood association and Secretary for Roanoke City’s Neighborhood Advocates.
