A zine (zeen) is a self-produced or homemade publication like a pamphlet. The viewpoints expressed in zines are generally independent, controversial, or alternative. These can range from collections of personal thoughts to expertly crafted political treatises.
Due to their independent nature, zines are neither scholarly nor peer-reviewed and not controlled by mainstream media or the publishing industry's editorial process. The publications are often photocopied, folded, and stapled, breaking from conventional publication format.
