Zine Review Newsletter March 8, 2007

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zinereviews/

This is a Zine Review Newsletter.

Wikipedia defines zine as “an abbreviation of the word fanzine, and originating from the word magazine — is most commonly a small circulation, non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images. More broadly, the term encompasses any self-published work of minority interest.”

Our goal is to review as many zines as possible, in a timely fashion.

You can read the reviews here for free, but we encourage you to join, as it’s the only way to gauge the audience we’re reaching. There will be nothing posted other than reviews by reviewers. The public cannot post messages nor see others’ email addresses. No spam will be tolerated.

We will review only regular mail publications; (no e-zines, or anything on the web.) We will network with others with similar goals, and will sometimes “share” reviews. We are seeking qualified reviewers to take on overseas publications and areas of special interest.

We make no guarantee of being fair or objective.

Zines go to:

New: Media Cake eMagazine February 27, 2007

We’ve launched! Media Cake eMagazine at

www.mediacakemagazine.com

Media Cake eMagazine is a media exchange: it is a
purposeful occupation of meanings, interpretations,
textual and visual gestures, interrogations, and
proposals. We view all media as both discourse and
artifact. As such, we are interested in the
possibility of media to simultaneously disrupt,
sustain, and (re)invent seemingly fixed narratives. We
consider media an opportunity to politicize / enter
into / scrutinize / destabilize / produce ideas. Media
is a conversation: dial in.
Do you scrutinize the advertising in magazines? Do you
consider music, fashion, books, public art, or
billboards an expression of ideas? Is your artistic
expression offering an unheard conversation or an
adventurous examination of a dialogue in progress?
We consider all media and welcome submissions of
journalism, essay, poetry, short fiction, literary
non-fiction, performance poetry, criticism, research /
academic papers, media review, interviews with media
makers, visual art, letters, and travel memoir.

Submission guidelines available at:
www.mediacakemagazine.com
