Skateboarding archives and summer books: 9 newspapers we loved in June

June at Newspaper Club means student degree shows, weddings (lots of zine-style mini programmes this year!) and bright summer editions.

This year it was also when publications that launched in 2025 returned triumphantly with a second issue – nice to see you again, The Eddy and The Long Run!

Here's what else is hot off the press, featuring newspapers for Vans, the Southbank Centre, TOAST and more.

Dreamy zine

Format: Digital mini / Paper: 55gsm improved newsprint

“I love juxtaposing my images to create micro-narratives and unexpected associations,” says LA-based photographer Julian Klincewicz.

Created in collaboration with Vans, his new zine captures dreamlike impressions of Southern California through a series of hazy, evocative moments. Designed by Edwin Negado and laid out like a calendar, it’s made to be hung on the wall and revisited throughout the year.

"I love how newspaper ages and becomes more precious over time." –Julian Klincewicz

Summer reading

Format: Traditional broadsheet  / Paper: 55gsm improved newsprint

The well-read team at Riverhead Books are back with the second edition of their printed newsletter, The Eddy, and it’s a beauty! The broadsheet is now available in over 200 bookshops across the US. This time there’s advice from literary editors like, interviews with a bookseller in Seattle and horoscopes to help you pick your next read.

New makers

Format: Traditional mini / Paper: 52gsm recycled newsprint

Now in its eighth year, TOAST’s New Makers programme celebrates a new group of emerging craftspeople. This beautifully produced mini newspaper is the third edition created to showcase the selected makers’ work, featuring Hannah Watts, Jacob Marks, Yuichi Romita, Linnan Ye and Egle Silko.

Money matters

Format: Traditional tabloid / Paper: 45gsm salmon newsprint

Graphic design students at UWE Bristol created this tabloid exploring the often impenetrable economic systems that govern our society. It was developed collaboratively through interviews, workshops and conversations and is fittingly printed on salmon newsprint, just like the Financial Times.

Kickflip the page

Format: Digital mini / Paper: 55gsm improved newsprint

The Southbank Centre is celebrating 50 years of the skate park underneath the Queen Elizabeth Hall. This zine was made in collaboration with active members of the Southbank skate community and features archival photographs plus essays, poetry and a timeline of moments that have shaped the iconic space.

"It was important that the publication could be produced cheaply enough that it could be given away to exhibition visitors for free," says assistant curator Katie Guggenheim. "And it’s great to have something lasting to mark the occasion."

Race to press

Format: Traditional tabloid / Paper: 52gsm recycled newsprint

This is the second annual edition of The Long Run from Interval, a running shop in Edinburgh. It’s released in the lead-up to the Edinburgh marathon and features stories and interviews with local runners. The newspaper is beautifully designed by Callin Mackintosh, who makes the most of a broadsheet's scale with big, full-page imagery.

Purrfect match

Format: Digital mini / Paper: 55gsm improved newsprint

One of  our favourite wedding newspapers so far this year was created by designer Rebecca Duncan for her Sussex wedding in May. Guests got a copy of The Pocklington Post ahead of the ceremony – inside was the order of service, the pair's love story plus a custom crossword and 'Find the guest' bingo to get everyone mingling.

"I loved designing all the fun things beyond the essential details," says Rebecca. "Fake adverts for our cats’ ‘businesses’ was a favourite! And getting to play with illustrations, and write silly copy that made us both laugh." Congratulations Rebecca and Stephen!

"My mother-in-law has been taking her copy round to show all her friends, which is the best kind of compliment!" -Rebecca Duncan

Colour study

Format: Digital tabloid / Paper: 55gsm recycled newsprint

Kitty-Sue Quah was studying graphic design when she came across an unseen archive with hundreds of slides and documents left behind by her late grandfather.

The discovery was the starting point for a newspaper exploring memory and the creative act of editing. She organised the images by colour, rather than chronology, to reflect her grandfather's affinity for bold shades and contrasts. "It felt like a natural continuation of his way of seeing," says Kitty-Sue.

The publication, After Image, became her final project for her degree at Kingston University - you can look inside the tabloid, and read our interview with Kitty-Sue, over on Instagram!

Chilly champs

Format: Digital mini / Paper: 55gsm improved newsprint

It's been a hot month in the UK, and flipping through the icy scenes in this zine took our minds off the heatwave! Last year, Marcus Smith was commissioned by the U.S. Olympic Committee to photograph 50 Team USA Winter Olympians over the course of 4 days. He’s collected his favourite shots in this neat portfolio newspaper.

"I remember finishing the edit on the shoot, then putting together the gallery for my website, and my post for Instagram and something feeling like it was missing," says Marcus. "That missing piece was seeing the images in print. I just remember all my favorite sports moments being archived in that way."

"There’s always a good amount of buzz that comes from creating a piece that you can share in real life with people." –Marcus Smith
