- the weekly zine of the Media-Makers Fellowship (July-Aug'24) :
All zines are created for teens, by teens.
A zine is a format-free, flexible way to publish stories and voices that don't usually make it to mainstream media.

Our zine is edited and conceptualised by student journalist Aadya Kashyap,
former participant of the Media-Makers Fellowship
