PANEL DESCRIPTION

There are dozens of community tricks and tools zinesters can use to help their audiences find each other and become active participants in the project. But picking the right community options for your community is rarely ever obvious. This discussion-format panel will cover how to tease participation out of quiet audiences, nuture communities once they do take hold and deal with the demands of a big community once it exists. Panelists will represent a broad diversity of community-facilitating publications and community-interaction practices.
