Are e-zines zines?
No, they’re e-zines. In terms of form, e-zines are certainly different, as they are created and distributed electronically, generally free of charge, and they don’t have that wonderful smell of fresh ink or toner. In terms of spirit, many e-zines are driven by passion rather than profit, though unfortunately the term has been tainted by a legion of online marketers (who apply the term to their commercial e-mail newsletters) and a tremendous number of style-over-substance webmasters (who apply the term to their websites).
