What are Zines?

Definitions of the word ā€œzineā€ vary tremendously, but they do tend to have these common characteristics:

  1. Self-published and the publisher doesnā€™t answer to anyone
  2. Small, self-distributed print run
  3. Motivated by desire to express oneself rather than to make money
  4. Outside the mainstream
  5. Low budget
