Tangent Zine is a youth-led online publication dedicated to the power of words and determined to speak up, even if our voices shake. We’re committed to professionally training our staff, composed of teenagers and now even adults, offering free resources, and providing a platform to those whose stories don’t get told. 

Today, we’re professionally credentialed, frequently working elbow to elbow alongside the LA and NY Times. You can find Tangent on the sidelines of the major leagues—like MLB, NBA, NWSL, MLS, and USWNT—or with local athletes at the Special Olympics. We’re a bit baby-faced, but we’ve got the same spunk as our older associates. Our work has brought us face-to-face with Greta Gerwig, Kid Cudi, Megan Rapinoe, Mark Cuban, and even Jerry West. We’ve covered LA sports, college athletics, film festivals, conventions, and real local stories, In 2023, we’ve garnered over 35,000 views from an international audience.
