KNow Youth Media

PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE HERE: The kNOw

Get ready Fresno citizens, a group of young people are on the rise! Since October 2006, over 15 of us youth, mostly from West Fresno, have been participating in after school writing workshops. We're learning how to use the power of writing and media to get our voices heard. We're sharing ideas and ways to address some of the city’s most pressing issues. And we're eager to participate in community discussions so we can inspire our fellow peers to action!

We are The kNOw.

In May 2007, we released the first issue of our mag, which include stories of personal struggles that young people face, but also included perspectives on youth music and fashion. Topics ranged from gang violence, to punk fashion, to a discussion on body image. Since then we have been able to release more issues of our magazine. We were even able to obtain our very own office and launch our own website. On our website, you will find poetry, our daily writings, and much more. It is updated very often.

The kNOw is coordinated by Pacific News Service/New America Media and Silicon Valley De-Bug.
