I have been using GIMP for quite a while now and I wonder if there is an easy way to use GIMP to convert a photo into a raster image like this:

Any help will be appreciated.

You could try "Filters/Distorts/Newsprint..."

The effect is called half-toning - in Gimp 2.10 it is that Newsprint GEGL filter

   

There are others, the gimp_gmic_qt plugin http://www.gmic.eu  also has a half-tone filter that gives a slightly different effect.
