What is a Zine?

"Zine" is taken from the last half of the word "magazine" & is a self-published

booklet or pamphlet produced in small batches.

Because zines are self published, they're excellent ways

to share information in communities that is specific to that community.

For the same reason, zines are important ways to share facts,

ideas, perspectives, & storytelling because self-published material

isn't subject to algorithms & corporate interests.
