Zines Versus Blogs?

Jason Boog

May 4, 2006

"There's been much discussion about blogs replacing zines which i find very interesting," writes ThePublishingSpot reader, Stacey Greenberg.

"i think you have to distinguish between mommy bloggers (i hate that term!) and mama zinesters. it's a pretty different aesthetic. my zine is definitely different from my blog."

Greenberg knows what she's talking about. She runs the Fertile Ground Zine and is also a popular blogging mother living in Tennessee. Her bio page contains an extensive list of webby and zine-y links.

These two different publishing models create different kinds of community, and I'd love to hear from both sides. Our visiting author, Jenna Freedman, took a crack at the zine/blog distinction in this forceful essay, Zines Are Not Blogs.

If you want to weigh in on the debate, now's your chance. I'll print my favorite responses tomorrow...
