Fanzines (1 Viewer)

[eucrid eucrow]

I'm teaching GCSE Media Studies next year and have provisionally been given the green light to study fanzines and alternative news outlets (printed only) as part of the Institutions aspect of the course. Therefore I need to start collecting examples from a variety of areas - music, politics, film, sport - to give the kids an understanding of their content, purpose, design, etc.

I know a lot of people on here are involved in stuff like this so if you could post the names of good 'zines here that you think would suit and how I can get a hold of them, or pm me, that would be great. 'The Vacuum', from Belfast, is the best example of the kind of thing I'm looking for but any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Thanks, will do.

I know The Vacuum isn't a zine but it is the kind of small-scale alternative media publication that I want to focus on as a contrast with the massive conglomerates that have to be studied.

By the way, I know you've produced your own 'zines, have you any available that I could buy from you?

you should talk to niallmc & nlgbbblth. oh clodagh, and steve albino too - he's been around the block. and let's not forget swingkid, or the top muzzer himself anto dillon, whose username escapes me right now.

Sniffin' Glue and Punk magazine were two of the original punk zines in the UK and US respectively...
