ABOUT THE PHOTOJOURNALISM HUB

EDITOR’S LETTER

It is with great pleasure to present the second issue of Wondering about West London? a news-based zine run by the Photojournalism Hub and kindly supported by W12Together, a resident-led partnership. Wondering about West London? is produced by young people living in west London and covers local news and stories. The project belongs to the Photojournalism Hub’s West London Zine project that aims to provide a platform upon which participants gain practical media experience and a body of published work and a portfolio valuable for furthering education or accessing employment opportunities. Participants of the project receive mentor-ship and dedicated weekly one two one support whilst developing their creative work. The second issue of Wondering about West London? continues with a reflection on the impact of Covid-19 on our communities with photo stories on isolation among the older generations, on business owners’ survival. It shares the hopes of young people post Covid-19 through a series of photo portraits and interviews. Furthermore, illustrations and a day in the life of an avid food lover and great young chef. Wondering about West London? brings amazing creative, resourceful and touching content from a youth perspective. Amidst the current lockdown, participants are bringing you content that demonstrates an acute sense of reflection, curiosity and a talent in sourcing content. I am immensely proud of this achievement and I would like to renew my gratitude to W12together for supporting this worthwhile project.
