Description

Learn the basics of creating your own zine—a small-scale, self-published publication—plus a myriad of creative uses for them. Leading this Compound experience are VoiceWaves editor Carlos Omar, and Long Beach-based journalist, amateur illustrator, and zine collector Emma DiMaggio, who is also the founder of the El Camino College Zine Club and has previously volunteered as a zine librarian for the Los Angeles Zine Fest. VoiceWaves is a Long Beach youth-led journalism and media-training project. The youth, ages 15–25, are learning to report, write, and create digital journalism content. Their stories raise awareness about community health issues and activate change in local neighborhoods. If you are interested in getting trained and published with VoiceWaves, please contact the editor, Carlos Omar, at [email protected]
