issue 7 at a glance
issue 7 is the summer issue. we're talking about getting outside, logging off, what you bring to the potluck, family traditions, good recipes, and the particular kind of sunny, unhurried feeling that only exists in summer in a shore town. bright, warm, and grounded.

why print advertising in atlantic city is impactful
it's an ad that doesn't disappear in an hour. the diving horse is an independent print zine rooted in atlantic city, but not limited to it. we publish writing, images, and fragments that feel lived-in. the kind of work people don't just scroll past mindlessly.
this is not a banner ad. it's a physical object. it sits on bar tops, coffee counters, and tables where real conversations happen in real life. people pick it up. people keep it. put it in their bags. show their friends. read it in the bath. on the plane. in the car. on the train. while they pee and while they poo -- a print ad is good for you.
